This question has been asked for QGIS 2 and it was poorly answered.

I have my API key from Thunderforest for accessing the OSM maps. I am trying to use the 'OSM TF outdoors' map. It requires an API key. But I have no idea where to put the url that contains my API key. The options that existed in QGIS 2 are either not there, or the answers are too vague to properly lead me to where I need to be.

I obtained the Thunderforest map through QuickMapServices

Does anyone know where to place OSM TF API keys in QGIS 3?

As stated on an example at thunderforest.com use https://tile.thunderforest.com/cycle/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?apikey=<insert-your-apikey-here>.

You can add XYZ-Tiles to QGIS via Browser -> XYZ-Tiles -> New Connection

If you want to use QuickMapServices

1) go to Web -> QuickMapServices -> Settings

enter image description here

2) add/edit/remove -> create service from existing (3.a) or create new service (3.b)

enter image description here

3.a) If you chose create service from existing choose the one you want to edit.

3.b) If you create a new service choose TMS as Type

4) in TMS tab edit the url and insert your api key
