    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.

      • Important: For security reasons, you will not be able to view this key again after leaving the page.
