# Key Management

Manage your Datadog API and application keys. You need an API key and an application key for a user with the required permissions to interact with these endpoints.

Consult the following pages to view and manage your keys:

- [API Keys](https://app.datadoghq.com/organization-settings/api-keys)
- [Application Keys](https://app.datadoghq.com/personal-settings/application-keys)
