Mycroft will then be unable to perform speech-to-text conversion, so you'll need to set that up as well, using one of the [STT engines Mycroft supports](https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/stt-engine).

You may insert your own API keys into the configuration files listed above in <b>Configuration</b>. For example, to insert the API key for the Weather skill, create a new JSON key in the configuration file like so:

```
{
// other configuration settings...
//
"WeatherSkill": {
"api_key": "<insert your API key here>"
}
}
```

### API Key Services

These are the keys currently used in Mycroft Core:
The Mycroft backend provides access to a range of API keys for specific services. Without pairing with the Mycroft backend, you will need to add your own API keys, install a different Skill or Plugin to perform that function, or not have access to that functionality.

These are the keys currently used in Mycroft Core through the Mycroft backend:

- [STT API, Google STT, Google Cloud Speech](http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys)
- [A range of STT services](https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/stt-engine) are available for use with Mycroft.
- [Weather Skill API, OpenWeatherMap](http://openweathermap.org/api)
- [Wolfram-Alpha Skill](http://products.wolframalpha.com/api/)


### Using Mycroft behind a proxy

Many schools, universities and workplaces run a `proxy` on their network. If you need to type in a username and password to access the external internet, then you are likely behind a `proxy`.
