of Service”. Then click on the “Continue” button, as shown below.

Then you need to select your account type. You can select “Business”

or “Individual”. Then enter your name and address and enter either

credit / debit card, or bank account details.

DO NOT WORRY – You will NOT get charged EVEN after your FREE trial.

You only get charged if you choose to use paid services in the future.

Do Not share your key with other people. If you think someone else is

using your API Key and FREE daily quota, you can regenerate your KEY

at any time from that same “Credentials” page.

Best of luck! And enjoy using TubeSerp.
