# Getting an API Key
|
|
|
|
In order to search for movies and TV shows, we use an API called ["The Movie Database" (TMDB)](https://www.themoviedb.org/). For your client to be able to search, you need to generate an API key for yourself.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
The API key is **free**, you just need to create an account.
