# Getting started

1. In the client area open the account menu (top right) → **API Credentials** and create a key. Tick the scopes you need
(start with `cloud_read`) and, if you call from fixed machines, add their IP addresses. The key
(`wck_…`) is shown once — store it in a secret manager.

2. Call the API with the key as a bearer token:

```
curl -s https://www.gyrohosting.com/api/v1/client/cloud/servers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GYRO_TOKEN"
```

3. Prefer infrastructure as code? Use the Terraform provider (see [Terraform](#terraform)).

**Account limits are raised with a support ticket**: see [Account limits](#account-limits) (`GET /cloud/account/limits`, `gyro limits`).
