# How to Generate a Raw Data API key To utilize the new API key-based authentication method, users must make the following adjustments to their API queries: * **Parameter Name**: Replace the old password parameter with client_secret. * **Parameter Value**: The value should be the newly generated **API key**. :::success For example, if the generated API key is API_KEY_123, the API call would be formatted as follows: *http://server.name/w/api/rawdata.cgi?client_secret=API_KEY_123&sid=23* ::: :::info The API Key functionality is available on the [**Security tab**](/doc/security-VqVBj5TbfQ) of the [System Module](/doc/system-module-TNvU3yVfhr) for **Admin** and **System manager** privilege users. ::: ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/48ddf0a7-308b-4fe9-b28a-e3ce1797eaa8/1133df60-97b1-489c-8ec6-d56584dcb928/image%20%281%29.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T143000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=118c12906e54294455b47e5dcf59c6b3e7b1b4c01e18415f6d3b11accf071af4&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =627x369") ### Generating API key 1.
