Open API Keys

Go to the API Keys section in your dashboard.

Configure the key

Set the following:
  • Name: a descriptive name, for example “Production App” or “Development Testing”.
  • Environment: Development for testing, or Production for live applications.
  • Expiration: Never expires, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days.
4

Generate and secure the key

Click Generate API Key. Copy and save the key immediately. You cannot view it again after this step.

​
Manage existing keys

In the API Keys section you can see each key’s name and description, environment type (Dev or Prod), creation date, expiration date, last used timestamp, and usage statistics. For each key you can:
  • View Usage: see detailed usage statistics.
  • Monitor Activity: check the last used timestamp.
  • Revoke Key: immediately disable the key if it is compromised.

​
Usage analytics

Click View Usage for any API key.
2

Review metrics

Available metrics include total number of requests, usage limits (if configured), request patterns over time, and error rates with status codes.

​
Security Best Practices

​
Team security

Create teams for better access control. Assign roles based on responsibilities. Audit team membership regularly. Remove inactive or departed members promptly.
Do not share individual accounts between team members, grant unnecessary administrative privileges, or leave inactive members in your team.

​
API key security

Use descriptive, meaningful names for keys. Set expiration dates. Separate development and production keys. Monitor usage regularly. Rotate keys periodically. Store keys in secure environment variables.
Do not commit API keys to version control, share keys via email or chat, reuse the same key across multiple environments, or keep unused or old keys active.

​
Security incident response

If you suspect an API key has been compromised:
1

Revoke the key

Revoke the compromised key immediately.
2

Generate a new key

Create a replacement key with a new name.
3

Update applications

Replace the old key in all applications.
4

Monitor usage

Watch for any unusual activity.
5

Report

Contact support if you notice unauthorized usage.
