API keys let external systems and scripts access your account programmatically — useful for custom integrations and reporting pipelines.
Generating a key
- Open API settings — go to Settings → API keys and click Generate key.
- Name and scope it — give it a descriptive name and the narrowest scope that works.
- Copy it now — the secret is shown once. Copy it into your integration immediately.
⚠️ Warning: Treat API keys like passwords. Never commit them to source control or paste them into client-side code. If a key is exposed, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.
Rotating and revoking
Rotate keys periodically and revoke any no longer used. Revoking takes effect immediately and breaks anything still using that key — so update integrations first.
