# Get Your API Key

Once you download the plugin, you will need a **FREE** API key from Weatherbit.io. You can set this up using the following link: [https://www.weatherbit.io/api](https://www.weatherbit.io/api)

It is free to sign up. For most cases, this should be sufficient but if you need more, they have packages available for a cost. The free version is limited to the following:

**500 API calls**/day\
**1 API call**/second

Other packages start at **40USD** / month. If you feel that your Forecaster will be using more than the specifications set by the free API, you can go here to view other packages:\
