Guide to obtaining tokens, keys, and connections.
To use the DeepL API you need just one piece of information: your "Authentication Key." Below is a step‑by‑step guide to obtain it.

On the account page, locate the section labeled “API” or “Authentication Key.” You’ll see two plan options: “DeepL API Free” or the paid, unlimited “DeepL API Pro.” Select the plan you need.

After the plan is activated, your key will appear in the same section—a long string of letters and numbers separated by hyphens (for example: abcd1234-ef56-7890-abcd-123456ef7890).
