# Issue with entering API key

 * When I enter the information on the Etsy setup screen as requested for the API
   key:
 * [etsy-include=buxombones;10941048]
 * I continue to get the message “You API key is invalid”.
 * The info ends up looking like this after I press save:
 * ——————————————————————
    Etsy API Key etsyincludebuxombones10941048 You API Key
   is invalid ——————————————————————
 * I’ve checked and the section number is correct. Do I exclude the brackets? I’ve
   tried that and received the same error.
 * Can you please assist?
    Thanks, Erica
