How do I generate API keys?

To generate an API key: log into the sandbox/production environment > click on your name on the lower left corner > Settings > Organization tab > API Keys section.

When you create an API key, we prefer it to be associated with an email address that is different from the members of your team. This is the email address where updates and notifications from actions taken by the API are sent. It's normally some sort of group or team alias (hummingbird-api@hummingbird.co), but if you want it to be associated with a personal email address, you can also alias your own email address (yourname+hummingbirdapi@yourcompany.co).
