# Proxy Public API Key Authentication

> Get an API key from the dashboard to authenticate to the Public API

You can get the API key by logging into your dashboard and going to the [**API keys**](https://dashboard.decodo.com/profile?tab=api-keys) section.

1. While [**logged in to the dashboard**](https://dashboard.decodo.com), click the **`Account and Settings`** icon at the top right.
2. Then, click `Settings`.
3. Finally, click on the **`API Keys`** tab to open it.
4. In the **API Keys** tab, enter a name for your API key and click on **Create** to see your API key.

<Danger>
  Once you close this window, you won't be able to see your whole API key again. Make sure to save it for later use.
</Danger>

<Warning>
  **Proxy Support**

  The Decodo Public API does not support **datacenter** and **ISP** product groups.

  **Mobile proxies** support *only* the `Get traffic` and `Get targets` dashboard statistic endpoints.
