Creating an API Key

1

Click Create Key

From the API Keys page, click “Create API Key”.
2

Enter Name

Give the key a descriptive name (e.g., “Production Server”, “Development”).
3

Copy Key

Copy the full key immediately — it won’t be shown again!
The full API key is only shown once when created. Store it securely — we cannot recover it.

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive names — Name keys by environment or purpose
  • Minimum permissions — Only grant permissions the key needs
  • Rotate regularly — Create new keys and revoke old ones periodically
  • Never commit keys — Use environment variables, not hardcoded keys
  • Monitor usage — Check for unusual activity regularly
