# Authentication

{% hint style="warning" %}
Due to high demand, no new `api-key` can be requested at this time. As soon as the Sharix server structures have been adapted accordingly, this will be possible again.
{% endhint %}

To be able to use the Sharix TV API, you will need to [**create a new API key**](https://api.sharix.tech).
