<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up for a Codex account">
    You'll need an account to make API requests. Sign up on the [Codex Dashboard](https://dashboard.codex.io/signup?utm_source=codex\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=get-started).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your API key">
    Once you've made an account, go to the [API Keys](https://dashboard.codex.io/dashboard/api-keys?utm_source=codex\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=get-started) page & hit the `Copy` button next to your API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your first request">
    Paste your API key in this embedded GraphQL explorer & run your first request. You should see a list of networks.

    <EmbedFrame
      query={`
query MyQuery {
getNetworks {
id
name
}
}`}
    />

    <Note>
      Throughout the docs you'll notice expandable "Try it" sections where you can run queries on real data like this mini explorer. For a more powerful version, check out the full [explorer](/explore)
