Step 1: Create a TheOrg Account

  1. Visit TheOrg Website:
    • Open your browser and go to TheOrg.
  2. Sign Up or Log In:
    • If you don’t have an account, click Sign Up to create one and verify your email address.
    • If you already have an account, click Log In and enter your credentials.

Step 2: Access the API Settings

  1. Go to Your Profile Menu:
    • Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the page.
  2. Open Settings:
