To configure this credential, you'll need:

* An **API Key**: Get your API Key from **My Settings > API Settings**. Create a **Main API Key** and enter this key in your n8n credential.

### API key types <a href="#api-key-types" id="api-key-types"></a>

UptimeRobot supports three API key types:

* **Account-specific** (also known as **main**): Pulls data for multiple monitors.
* **Monitor-specific**: Pulls data for a single monitor.
* **Read-only**: Only runs `GET` API calls.

To complete all of the operations in the UptimeRobot node, use the **Main** or **Account-specific** API key type. Refer to [API authentication](https://uptimerobot.com/api/#auth) for more information.
