What is my authorization key?

In the keyword tracker, I get this error:

Google returned the following error:

Go to Edit Preferences (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/?action=edit) within the keyword tracker. Sounds like you have your email address where the Google API Key should be.

go here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?continue=http://api.google.com/createkey&followup=http://api.google.com/createkey
and fill in your e-mail and a password. Then check your mail and you should have an e-mail that looks like this only where the x's are your key will be:

I didn't even know how to get my API key, thanks greg ;)

np. just enter that key in instead of your e-mail address like Shawn said.

Was it necessary to post the same information Greg posted several days ago?
