# Get an API Key from NASA (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, you must specify an API key every time you invoke a NASA REST API. You can get this key from NASA.

1. Go to [https://api.nasa.gov](https://api.nasa.gov).
2. Enter your **First Name**, **Last Name**, and **Email**, then click **Signup**.
3. Copy the the response and save it to a text file. It looks something like this:
    
    ```
    Your API key for me@example.com is:
    YbbMNWeWX2BqxoPKXEiWWcKMgNlUHhHXgqWG5XBt
