API Key

An API key can be used when testing, on clients that do not support SameSite cookies, or in situations where an interactive authentication workflow is not feasible.

API Keys are created in the same permission context as the user that created it.

Create an API Key

Securely store the API Key secret. You will not be able to view the secret again. If you forget it, you will need to delete the API Key and create a new one. Additionally, treat your API Key secret as a password. Store it in a safe place such as a password manager.

  1. Click on your profile icon at the top right
  2. Click Profile
  3. Click the API Key tab
  4. Click Create API Key
  5. Wait for the key to be generated. The API Key ID and Secret will be shown in a dialog.
