# How to Acquire a UniSat API Key

Previously, API keys were requested by contacting the UniSat team and applying via email. With the new Developer Center, you will need to register with your email and choose the appropriate plan.

Here are the steps to acquire a UniSat API Key:

1. Visit [UniSat website](https://unisat.io/) and click 'API' in the homepage navigation bar. From the dropdown menu, select 'API Service' to access the detailed API plans page. Alternatively, you can directly click [here](https://unisat.io/plans) to view the API plans.

6. Payments are currently accepted via PayPal and BTC.   If you choose PayPal, the page will redirect to the PayPal payment page. If you choose BTC, you can pay using a BTC wallet address or your UniSat wallet.&#x20;

Here is an example of a BTC payment method, click '**Pay with BTC**', then select '**Pay with Wallet**'. The page will prompt you to sign; confirm the input and output information carefully, and click 'Sign & Pay' to complete the acquire.
