# Integrate API keys

> Integrate Unity Ads API keys with partner platforms by securely inputting your API credentials into the partner's dashboard, enabling seamless data exchange and campaign tracking.

[API keys](/grow/acquire/partner-integration/api-keys/introduction.md) enable Unity to verify purchases and ensure campaign accuracy. You can integrate your API licensing keys with either of the Unity Ads dashboards:

* [Monetization dashboard:](#monetization) Integrate in your project **Settings** under **Acquire Optimization**.
* [User Acquisition dashboard:](#acquisition) Integrate during campaign creation.
