Under Account Management, you can see/edit (regenerate) your Account-level API ID and Read-only API Key. These are required to access any account-level API resources. An example is shown on the right and at the bottom of this page there are step by step instructions and screenshots for getting your Valarm API ID and Key.

Step by step tutorial guide on setting up your Valarm sensor API ID & Key:
Click your account name in the blue button in the upper right and then click the view button for the account you’d like to set up for your API ID + Key.
After you’ve clicked view, click Edit on the view account screen.
On the Edit Account screen you can see your API ID and Read-only API Key. Copy and paste the Valarm API text from here as you need. If you need a new API ID and API Key, click the corresponding red buttons to generate them.
Now with your Valarm API ID and Key you can make the JSON API call you get the list of device groups from your account! You’ll get a JSON result similar to what you see here.
Have a look at this API documentation for getting more details and metadata about a specific device group from Tools.Valarm.net.
