# v3 API PHP Code Example

> \[!NOTE]

> Do you have an [API Key](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys) yet? If not, go get one. You're going to need it to integrate!
>
> Make sure you've set the [SENDGRID\_API\_KEY](https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php#setup-environment-variables) environment variable in your env file.
