    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get an API Key">
    Once the account is created:

    1. Navigating to **Web3 Data API**
    2. Click on **Add API Key**
    3. Set an alias and click on **create**
    4. Copy the the value

    </Frame>

    <Warning>Always keep your API keys in a secure environment. Never expose them in public repositories, such as GitHub, or share them with unauthorized individuals. Compromised API keys can lead to unauthorized access and potential misuse of your account.</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make a query">
    With your API Key you can start making queries, for example to get the latest block on the C-chain(43114):

    ```bash theme={null}
      curl --location 'https://glacier-api.avax.network/v1/chains/43114/blocks' \
      --header 'accept: application/json' \
      --header 'x-glacier-api-key: <YOUR-API-KEY>' \
    ```

    And you should see something like this:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "blocks": [
