How do I open the API Access page in the dashboard?

The page you want is labeled Developer in the dashboard sidebar — not "API Access" or "API Keys" or "Settings → Integrations." That naming trips people up because some VEC documentation and older support replies still call it the API Access page. Both names point at the same screen, but the link in the sidebar reads Developer.

Step-by-step path

1. Sign in at app.validemailchecker.com with the email and password tied to your account owner login.
2. Look at the left sidebar. The Developer link sits between Buy Credits and Account Settings.
3. Click Developer. The URL changes to /api-access and the page title reads "Developer API".
4. From there you can generate keys, view the masked key list, see per-key credits used, and copy the cURL/Python/PHP/JavaScript sample requests.

Why some users do not see the link

Two reasons the Developer item can be missing from your sidebar:

• You are a team member, not the owner. Only account owners can issue API keys, so the link is hidden for team members entirely. If you opened the dashboard via an invite link, you are a team member by default. Ask the owner to log in and generate a key, then share it with you through your secret store.
• You are still signed in to a different account. If you maintain a personal sandbox account and a work account, double-check the email shown in the top-right profile menu before opening a support ticket. The sidebar reflects whichever account is active.

What the page contains

Once you land on the Developer screen, you get two panels stacked on top of each other:

• Your API Keys — table of every active key with date created, status, friendly name, masked key, credits consumed, and a three-dot actions menu for rename, regenerate, disable, or delete.
• API Documentation — tabbed code samples for the verify-single and verify-bulk endpoints in cURL, Python, PHP, and JavaScript, plus a sample JSON response shape. Copy directly into your codebase.

Direct URL bookmark

If you want to skip the sidebar, the page lives at https://app.validemailchecker.com/api-access — bookmark that URL for one-click access. The route redirects to the login page if your session has expired.
