# Dashboard

Source: https://docs.screenshotlens.com/docs/dashboard
Summary: Build requests in the Playground, manage API keys, read usage logs, and buy credits at app.screenshotlens.com.

The dashboard at [app.screenshotlens.com](https://app.screenshotlens.com) is where you get a key, try a request, and see what each request cost. It calls the same API your server will, so anything that works there works from code.

## The usual order

1. Create a key under **API keys**, named after the system that will use it.
2. Build the request in the **Playground** with `response_type=json` and check the credit cost before running it.
3. Copy the generated URL into your server code and swap in the key from your secret manager.
4. Check **Usage logs** when a request behaves differently in production than it did in the Playground.

New accounts start with 100 credits, so every step above works before you buy anything.
