I am able to obtain an API key from the web app. However, according to SendGrid documentation, I am only allowed to access a small subset of the whole key.
If you see the API key sample below:
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
The sub-string "ngeVfQFYQlKU0ufo8x5d1A"
is the API Key.
What is the rest of this stuff and how did they generate this entire/full string?

The API KEY is generated and displayed to you just once. So be sure to copy and save it somewhere. After that only the subset key is displayed.
To get a SendGrid API key, log in to your Sendgrid account. Go to Account Details. Click on API Keys. In the top right corner, click Create API Key. Name the API Key anything you want. Select the Restricted Access tile and a table of “Access Details” will appear. Make sure add email list access in access details.
Next, click Create API Key in the upper right-hand corner. Enter a name for the API key, then click Create and View. Copy the API key that is displayed into the SendGrid API Key field in HostLaunch's account settings. Your HostLaunch account can now send emails on your behalf through SendGrid.
Allows the API key to access billing endpoints for the account. You must create your first API key using the Twilio SendGrid App. Once you have a key with permissions to manage other keys, you can use the endpoints documented as part of this API.
For security reasons, SendGrid cannot show the key to you again, so make sure you have taken down the key before clicking on "DONE" (Number 9). Login to your Systeme.io account by clicking HERE (Number 10).

It is mentioned as part of the documentation over here as a warning/alert.
