Only Metabase admins can create API keys, and the key must be assigned to the Administrators group to read people, groups and memberships.

Find your Metabase URL

Use the address you open Metabase at, for example https://metabase.example.com or https://yourcompany.metabaseapp.com on Metabase Cloud. Leave off any trailing slash and the /api path.
