<section data-guide-section data-guide-scopes="">
  <h2>Find your customer number</h2>

  <p>Your customer number (Kundennummer) identifies your coveto instance and forms its URL.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Check your browser address bar when signed in to coveto.</li>
    <li>Format: `https://{customer-number}.coveto.de`</li>
    <li>Example: if your URL is `https://k01234.coveto.de`, your customer number is `k01234` (it always starts with `k`).</li>
  </ul>

  <h2>Create a REST API key</h2>

  <p>Generate an API key in coveto and assign it access rights per resource. Use a separate API key per project or integration.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Open the REST API settings">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to your <a href="https://www.coveto.de" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coveto account</a>.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Navigate to <strong>Einstellungen</strong> (Settings) > <strong>REST API</strong>.</li>
          <li>Click <strong>Neu</strong> (New) to start creating a key.</li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Configure the key and save it">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Set the developer contact details and the access rights the integration needs.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Enter your developer contact details (used for security incident support).</li>
          <li>For each endpoint, choose an access level: <strong>none</strong> (no access), <strong>read</strong> (GET), <strong>write</strong> (GET, POST, PATCH), or <strong>delete</strong> (all methods including DELETE).</li>
          <li>Grant only the endpoints and levels your integration requires.</li>
          <li>Optionally restrict the key to a specific server IP address for added security.</li>
          <li>Click <strong>Speichern</strong> (Save).</li>
          <li>Copy the API key immediately — it is shown only once and then stored encrypted. Store it securely for use later.</li>
        </ul>
