# The API Access tab

You can find information about how to access the Sitecore Search APIs on the **API Access** tab on the **Developer Resources** section of Sitecore Search.

The **API Access** tab includes the following sections:

- *Customer Key* - displays your customer key, which is required for the Events API.

    > [!note]
    > The customer key is a combination of your company ID and your domain ID, separated by a hyphen (-). For example, if your company ID is `17595242` and your domain ID is `15987155`, your customer key is `17595242-159871551`.

- *API Hosts* - lists the endpoints for the server, authentication, the Discover (Search and Recommendation) API, and the Events API.
- *API Keys* - lists the unique 52-character secret codes assigned to you. These keys have scopes for the Discover (Search and Recommendation) and Events APIs.

    > [!note]
    > When you first create a domain, no API key is assigned. When you subscribe to a vertical type (in this case, Search), you are assigned a default API key automatically.
