{% hint style="info" %}
For security reasons, your API key is only visible at the time it's being generated. Make sure to copy and store it securely because you won't be able to view it again.
{% endhint %}

### Start using API

Now when you have an API key you can try to send a first request our API.

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" https://api.seenode.com/v1/teams
```

This endpoint returns list of teams you're member in and you should get response like this one:

```json
{
    "teams": [
        {
            "billingThreshold": 200,
            "created": "2023-01-27T17:39:16",
            "freeTrialAvailable": false,
