# Get or Regenerate API key

![](https://tattoogenda.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/DEVIDER-TG-02-31-1024x96.png)

**Why do you need an API key?**
API keys are used when you bought one of our WordPress Tattoogenda plugins or you would like to use our endpoints on your own custom build websites. Those WP plugins can show data about your artists, your artist list, their available dates, or a booking form, .. on your WP website. For your plugin to communicate with your Tattoogenda account data, you will need to add your API key into the plugins settings.
