API keys are essential for accessing and using our APIs. This page provides an overview of how API keys are managed and used within our system.
API Key Generation
To generate an API key, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the API Key Management Dashboard.
- Log in with your credentials.
- Click on the "Generate New API Key" button.
- Choose the API you want to generate the key for.
- Enter the necessary details and click "Create".
API Key Usage
Once you have generated an API key, you can use it to authenticate your API requests. Here's how:
- Include the API key in the request header as a Bearer token.
- For example:
Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>
.
API Key Permissions
Each API key has specific permissions associated with it. These permissions determine what actions the API key can perform. You can manage these permissions from the API Key Management Dashboard.
API Key Rotation
It's recommended to rotate your API keys periodically for security reasons. To rotate an API key:
- Go to the API Key Management Dashboard.
- Select the API key you want to rotate.
- Click on the "Rotate API Key" button.
- A new API key will be generated, and you can use it to replace the old one.
Security Best Practices
- Keep your API keys secure and do not share them with unauthorized users.
- Use HTTPS to secure your API requests.
- Regularly review and update your API key permissions.
