### (Optional) API Key
20+
21+
This step is optional because Watcharr comes built in with its own API Key that it can use for your import, however, if you encounter any issues where imports cannot start or keep failing and you see any `403` errors in your server logs, providing your own key may fix the problem.

#### Getting an API Key
24+
25+
1. [Visit this link to create a new Trakt API App](https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications/new).
26+
2. Fill out all required fields (`Name` and `Redirect uri`) with any random data.
27+
1. You can set the `Redirect uri` to any value the input accepts since we don't use it (eg: `http://localhost`)
28+
3. Click `Save App`.
29+
4. You should now be redirected to your new app. Copy the `Client ID` into the `API Key` textbox in Watcharr.
