Once you have this key, make it visible, and save it somewhere for the next step where we build our query.

### Step 3: Build Your SQL Query

After this you just need to add the url as the table you want to query from with the api key provided as a query parameter. An example is shown below along with a link to the query in the sandbox.

`SELECT * FROM "https://stackby.com/stack/stJMXZMzvH293NHq3S/tbl1575000948100df97c5?api-key={YOUR-KEY}"`[\[ sandbox \]](https://www.usesql.com/demo?query=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20%22https%3A%2F%2Fstackby.com%2Fstack%2FstJMXZMzvH293NHq3S%2Ftbl1575000948100df97c5%3Fapi-key%3DR8Nt2XYfnfO534O3%22\&format=html)
