How long is the waiting time to get an API key?

Hello,

I wanted to ask if there is a time estimation on how quickly you get an API key after you create an account in LangSmith?
Also, correct me if I am wrong but we need an API key for using both Langchain and Langsmith, right? Otherwise it looks that we cannot really use this framework.

Thank you!

You can use LangChain without having access to LangSmith. We're scaling LangSmith and will be taking off more folks off the wait list.

Thank you for your reply.
However, it looks that for te Langchain as well I need to provide an API key according to the examples I check. And for that I am not sure what to use.
