Go to Settings
Click on API Keys
Create an API Key:
Under Create your first API key, click on New
Add a name to the Key
Ensure it is marked as Never Expires
Click Create.
Copy the API Key
Step 2: Add the Cal.com API Key to Double Nickel

Click on your own User.
Click on Edit.
Paste your calendar API key into the Calendar API Key field.
