Make your first API request
To make your first request to the Images API, you must obtain these pieces of information:Your Cloudflare Account ID
1. Log in to the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/login), and select your
account and website. 2. In the **Overview** app, scroll down to find your Account ID.Your Global API Key or API Token
Refer to [API tokens](/images/cloudflare-images/upload-images/api-token/).
Once you have this information, you are ready to upload your first image to Cloudflare Images using the API:
curl -X POST \ "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/images/v1" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \ -F file=@./<YOUR_IMAGE>
A successful response will look similar to this:
