## How to get your key

The API authenticates with an `apikey` query parameter on every request.

1. Sign in at [Financial Modeling Prep](https://site.financialmodelingprep.com/).
2. Open the [Developer Docs](https://site.financialmodelingprep.com/developer/docs) and go to your **Dashboard**.
3. Copy your API key (a free tier is available).
4. Paste it into FlyMyAI.

## Fields to fill in FlyMyAI

| FlyMyAI field | Where it comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `FMP_API_KEY` | Financial Modeling Prep -> Developer Docs -> Dashboard |

## Troubleshooting

- **`401 Unauthorized` / `Invalid API KEY`** - the key is wrong or missing. Re-copy it from your dashboard.
- **`403 Forbidden` / endpoint not in your plan** - the endpoint requires a paid tier. Upgrade or use a covered endpoint.
- **`429 Too Many Requests`** - you hit your plan's rate or daily limit. Wait for the reset or upgrade.
- **Empty result for a ticker** - check the symbol (use the exchange-listed ticker, e.g. `AAPL`); some symbols need an exchange suffix.
