Authentication and how to generate an “api key” also known as an oAuth token is cover here in this documentation: [Authentication | Twitch Developers](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication)

Which flow used will depend on what you need the “api key” for.

I’m also assuming by “api key” you mean an oAuth token and not a clientID which is also covered in the linked documentation
