How to get your API credentials directly from DataForSEO

Create a free account. DataForSEO adds $1 in trial credit when you sign up.
Open API Access. In the dashboard sidebar, select API Access and copy your API login and API password. DataForSEO creates your API password when you sign up.
Save your credentials. The dashboard shows your API password for the first 24 hours after you sign up. If it’s hidden, select Send by e-mail.
Test a request. In Postman, choose Basic Auth and enter your API login and password. You can also run a live request in the API Playground with your trial credit, or use the free sandbox for sample data.
