**Requirements:** a PandaDoc account with access to the Dev Center (section 2).

1. Sign in to your PandaDoc account and go to **Settings → Integrations → API & Webhooks → API Keys** (your workspace's own **Dev Center**).
2. Find your **Production key** (different from the Sandbox one, which is only for internal tests at no charge) — if your account doesn't have one generated yet, follow whatever flow the Dev Center offers to request or generate it.
3. Copy the key's full value — it has the format `pandadoc-live-…`.

> **Note — The key stays tied to whoever generated it**
>
> PandaDoc ties each key to the user who created it — its capabilities depend on that person's role and license within PandaDoc. If that person leaves the workspace, their key can become inactive: generate the key with a stable team account, not with one belonging to someone who might leave.

Verified against PandaDoc's official documentation (`developers.pandadoc.com/reference/create-api-key` and `developers.pandadoc.com/reference/api-key-authentication-process`, checked on September 5, 2026).
