Hello, i just encountered numer.ai today. When running the first submission. I got this question

```auto
# Get your API keys and model_id from https://numer.ai/submit
public_id = "REPLACEME"
secret_key = "REPLACEME"
model_id = "REPLACEME"
napi = numerapi.NumerAPI(public_id=public_id, secret_key=secret_key)

```

How to get the public\_id, secret\_key, and model\_id?

Thank you

Welcome to the tournament @sharkdeng!

You can create API keys from your [account settings](https://numer.ai/account) page (Log into numerai, click on the gear icon on the top right and then click on **Settings** in the menu). Once you’re on that page, click on “Create API Key” under “Automation”.

You can get the model\_id for your model(s) from the [models](https://numer.ai/models) page (Also accessible from the gear icon on the top right of the page). You can also get _model\_id_ for your models from the API. I recommend reading the [numerapi docs](https://numerapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for that.

You can check your latest submission from the [tournament](https://numer.ai/tournament) page. You can also get it via the API. Everything accesible via the website is also available via the API, except for the API keys.

Does anyone have any more detail about what syntax is necessary to use the API? I have tried this:

```auto
public_id = "REPLACEME"
secret_key = "REPLACEME"
model_id = "REPLACEME"
napi = numerapi.NumerAPI(public_id=public_id, secret_key=secret_key)

```

In a couple of different ways and I keep getting back:

ERROR numerapi.base\_api: Your session is invalid or has expired.

thanks

This typically means that you have the `public_id` and `secret_key` swapped.

I tried that, tried all caps, I am still seeing the same thing, not any type of login failure or anything like that. Are there any type of extended diags available with that command?
