TOP TIP
You can also copy the Environment API Key of the active environment by clicking on the User Menu Icon > Copy Environment Key

The API Key that you will copy from the user menu is linked to the active environment on the sidebar. Switching to another active environment and then clicking on the Copy Environment Key option will copy a different API Key - the API key of the newly activated environment.
