Registering a new user

4. Last step. Additional
Note
This is an optional step that needs to be completed if you selected only mobile app analytics in step 1.
In the window that appears, copy the API key — a unique identifier for your app that allows the service to recognize the app and collect data.
The saved API key will be needed when integrating with Yandex Ads SDK into your app. Installation and setup instructions:
- Ads SDK Integration — for monetization and ad display;
- Analytics SDK Integration — for analytics collection.
Tip
The API key is always available in the App family settings:
- In the upper part of the screen, select the desired App family.
- In the left menu, click Settings → General. The key is located in the API key (for SDK) field.
