• Select the option 8 to run the Shell.

• Run this command:

pkg -C /dev/null add https://github.com/jaredhendrickson13/pfsense-api/releases/latest/download/pfSense-2.7-pkg-API.pkg && /etc/rc.restart_webgui

Once executed, open the web administration console and go to “System” > “API”

• In the middle of the page, choose the option API Token in the Authentication mode field**.**

• Generate a new token
• Retrieve the Client-ID and the generated API key, which is temporarily displayed at the top of the web page.
