# Quick Start

> Quick guide to Token Plan subscription and integration

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your Subscription Key">
    Visit [Billing > Token Plan](https://platform.minimax.io/user-center/payment/token-plan) to view your **Subscription Key**.

    <Callout icon="album" color="#A8A8A8" iconType="regular">
      Important Notes:

      * The Subscription Key is used for Token Plan subscriptions and purchased Credits.
      * It is not interchangeable with pay-as-you-go API Keys.
      * The key can exist before you have any paid resources. It becomes usable when you have an assigned Token Plan seat or Credits access.
      * Please protect your API Key. We recommend exporting it as an environment variable or saving it to a config file.
    </Callout>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get resources">
