  2. Navigate to View Data at the top left.

  3. Click on View or Change Your Automated Access Settings.

  4. Create an API key by following the prompts.

  5. Copy the key portion from the URL provided after the key= parameter. For example, if the full URL is
    https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/snds/data.aspx?key=8dr4dce6-9990-1214-4502-95f372023v2g, you should copy only 8dr4dce6-9990-1214-4502-95f372023v2g.
