How do I find my PhantomBuster API Key?

In your PhantomBuster account, click on your name in the top right, go to **Org settings** or **Workspace settings**, and look for the **API Key** section.

Can I provide arguments when launching a Phantom?

Yes! The `launch_phantom` action accepts an optional `argument` field where you can provide a JSON string of parameters to override the default Phantom configuration.

How do I see the data extracted by a Phantom?

Use the `get_phantom_output` tool with the specific agent ID. It will return the results of the last successful execution of that Phantom.
