### Get API details

Now that you've created some database tables, you are ready to insert data using the auto-generated API.

To do this, you need to get the Project URL and key from [the project **Connect** dialog](/dashboard/project/\_?showConnect=true&connectTab={{ .tab }}&framework={{ .framework }}).

[Read the API keys docs](/docs/guides/getting-started/api-keys) for a full explanation of all key types and their uses.

<Admonition type="note" title="Changes to API keys">

Supabase is changing the way keys work to improve project security and developer experience. You can [read the full announcement on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/29260).

The older `anon` and `service_role` keys will work until the end of 2026 but **we strongly encourage switching to and using** the new publishable (`sb_publishable_xxx`) and secret (`sb_secret_xxx`) keys now.

In most cases, you can get keys from [the Project's **Connect** dialog](/dashboard/project/\_?showConnect=true&connectTab={{ .tab }}&framework={{ .framework }}), but if you want a specific key, you can find them in the [**Settings > API Keys**](/dashboard/project/_/settings/api-keys/) section of the Dashboard.

- **For legacy keys**, copy the `anon` key for client-side operations and the `service_role` key for server-side operations from the **Legacy API Keys** tab.
- **For new keys**, open the **API Keys** tab, if you don't have a publishable key already, click **Create new API Keys**, and copy the value from the **Publishable key** section.
