# Quickstart

Let's get you up and running in 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through getting your API key, creating your first delivery, and seeing the result.

### 1. Get Your API Key

Before you can make any API calls, you need to get your API key.

You can find your API key in the **Settings > General > API Keys** section of your [Dora Dashboard](https://fleet.usedora.com/dashboard).

### 2. Make Your First Call (Create Delivery)

Now, let's use that key to create your first delivery. Open your terminal and paste in the following `curl` command, replacing `YOUR_API_KEY` with your **Development API Key**.

This command creates a simple delivery with the minimum required fields.
