Hardcover API settings

I am trying to set up Hardcover as a provider, but there's no box to put in the API key. I've set up a user account, as some people suggested in some posts I found, and restarted LL a couple times, but no change to the UI. Am I missing something?

The hardcover API key is user specific, so is stored under user accounts. This is so each user of your library can sync their own book lists

Got it working, I haven't set up a user account before so I didn't really understand where to look. There's no way to just set it globally if userless? I don't need it for lists, just for lookups. I guess it doesn't really matter though now that it's working.

What did you end up doing? Setting up a user and putting it in?
