# Setting API Key In Code

> How to set your API Key in your code directly

This is **not** reccomended but you can explicilty set the API key in your code.

In Javascript:

```js
import { LytixCreds, MetricCollector } from "@lytix/client";

/**
 * First set the API key
 */
LytixCreds.setAPIKey("sk-1234");

/**
 * Then you can use Lytix normally
 */
await MetricCollector.increment("testMetric");
```

In Python:

```py
from lytix_py import MetricCollector, LytixCreds

"""
First set the API key
"""
LytixCreds.setAPIKey("sk-1234")

"""
Then you can use Lytix normally
"""
MetricCollector.increment("testMetric");
```
