As mytuny stated, you need to have spent more than $5 on your account to obtain an Api key.

There are a few features that are disabled until you have spent $5 on Steam.

You can see the restrictions here. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3330-iagk-7663

I had the same issue when I was trying to use the invisnik/laravel-steam-auth Laravel package to implement a steam auth system for my project.

By the time my steam account had ZERO purchases :D First, I though it will be enough to buy just "any" item from their store, so obviously I've purchased a $1.99 game but nothing happened!

Then I saw somewhere that "maybe" a TOTAL of $5 spending will activate the API Key for my account. I gave it a try and bought two more games ($2.99 + $0.49). Now my total spending have exceeded $5 ( $1.99 + $2.99 + $0.49 = $5.47) and the API Key got activated instantly !!
