# Introduction

# ⚒️ Manage Validator Dashboards

<Note>
  To modify the validator dashboard via API, make sure you have an active [**Orca**](https://beaconcha.in/premium) subscription.
</Note>

After creating a [validator dashboard](https://beaconcha.in/dashboard) and the desired [validator groups](./validator-groups) through the UI, you can add and assign validators to groups using our API.

***

* The Group ID is shown in the Group Manage modal on the Dashboard (see [validator groups](./validator-groups))
* The Dashboard ID is visible in the dashboard URL
* The API key is only visible in your account settings: [https://beaconcha.in/user/settings#api](https://beaconcha.in/user/settings#api)

<Warning>
  Adjust the base URL for your target network:

  * Mainnet: beaconcha.in
  * Hoodi: hoodi.beaconcha.in
</Warning>

## Add validators to a dashboard

Use the [POST endpoint](/validator-dashboard/manage-validators-api-endpoints/validators_post) to add validators to a dashboard. Provide the API key as a query parameter and a JSON body. See the API spec below for the exact payload shape.

## Remove validators from a group

Use the [DELETE endpoint](/validator-dashboard/manage-validators-api-endpoints/groups_delete) to remove validators from a specific group.

## Bulk delete validators from a dashboard

Use the [bulk deletions endpoint](/validator-dashboard/manage-validators-api-endpoints/validators_bulk_delete_post) to remove many validators at once.
