# Welcome to the Chain.Love's API Management module

You can start making requests to our public endpoints (like on [Filecoin](https://reqbin.com/c-x9ld2evx)) right away without creating a Chain.Love account. To learn more on which chains RPC and/or Subgraphs are free take a look at our [blockchains](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain-love-docs/blockchains/blockchains) section.\

For accessing advanced features and paid endpoints, consider setting it up. To do that, follow these steps:

**Create a Query Key**

To create a query key, follow [these steps](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain.loves-api-management-module/getting-started-with-rpc/create-query-keys). This will allow you to make authenticated requests to our nodes. During key configuration, the name is the only required field so you can leave the other fields as they are.

**Create an API Key (Optional)**

For programmatic access to manage your account, you can also create an API key. Follow [these steps](https://chain-love.gitbook.io/chain-love-docs/platform-api/create-api-keys) to create an API key for administrative functions like viewing statistics and creating query keys programmatically.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Activate Your Subscription (Paid Plans Only)**

If you chose a paid plan, you need to activate your subscription. Follow [these steps](/chain.loves-api-management-module/billing/subscriptions.md) to do so. You can learn more about subscriptions [here](/chain.loves-api-management-module/billing/subscriptions.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Make Your First Request**

To make your first request, follow [these steps](/chain.loves-api-management-module/getting-started-with-rpc/send-requests.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
