# LS3 with load\_acc

{% hint style="info" %}
As of October 1st, 2025, it's no longer required to directly contact us to acquire Load S3 access keys to interact with the LS3's `drive.load.network` HyperBEAM cluster. Interacting with the Load S3 storage layer now has programmatic access with `load_acc` access keys and a new cluster endpoint: `https://api.load.network/s3`
{% endhint %}

### How to get load\_acc API keys

First, you have to create a bucket from the cloud.load.network dashboard if the bucket you want to create scoped keys for does not already exist.

After creating the bucket, navigate to the "API Keys" tab and create a new load\_acc key with a label, then scope it to the desired bucket.

### load\_acc in action

After creating a bucket and load\_acc API key, you can now interact with the Load S3 storage layer via S3-compatible SDKs, such as the official AWS S3 SDK. Here is the S3 client configuration as it should be:

```javascript
import { S3Client } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";


const endpoint = "https://api.load.network/s3"; // LS3 HyperBEAM cluster 
const accessKeyId = "load_acc_YOUR_LCP_ACCESS_KEY"; // get yours from cloud.load.network
const secretAccessKey = ""; 

// Initialize the S3 client
const s3Client = new S3Client({
  region: "us-east-2",
  endpoint,
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId,
    secretAccessKey,
  },
  forcePathStyle: true, // required
});
```

And that's it, that's all you need to start interacting with your HyperBEAM-powered S3 temporary storage!
