 * Found in the tools section on your YOURLS admin page, which is where? This does
   not show up on the plugin anywhere that I have found.
 * Very frustrated

 * the API itself is located on your own YOURLS installation. To find it, go to

 * I’m using the WP plugin Norcross? I’ve tried this but cannot find the API Signature
   Key?
 * Thanks 😉

 * [@sixfootjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sixfootjames/) you need to
   get the API key from your stand-alone YOURLS install. the plugin does not do 
   that for you.
