How to find Secret Key

Alpaca Account Troubleshooting
1

In my paper trading account I can only see API Key ID. How should I get ‘secret_key’?
Thanks

Login, go to your paper trading view.
On the right hand side, next to your keys, click on the view button
You’ll see your key id, and you can generate/regenerate a new key.
The secret is only displayed when you are still on this screen. When you navigate off, you will need to generate the secret again.

There is only Key ID available, where to find Secret key?

@Jay_Vishvakarma The secret_key displays only once immediately after you click “Regenerate” to get a new API_key. Ensure you copy and save it. If you loose the secret_key you will need to regenerate the keys. It doesn’t appear any place in the UI (or even the backend Alpaca systems for that matter).
