2. Expand the side-bar menu on the left side of the screen and go to Settings and then Integration
3. Choose the Dynatrace API section
4. Click on Generate token to create a new API key
5. Enter a description label and submit the request
6. Expand the created key via clicking on the "Edit"-label, copy the token and use it in your Dynatrace API examples

Using the API with Dynatrace Managed environments

For Dynatrace Managed environments you need to use an URL with the following structure:

https://<hostname>/e/<tenant-id>/api/v1/

e.g.

https://sample.dynatrace-managed.com/e/12345678-1234-1234-1234-abcdef12/api/v1/
