The REST API uses API key authentication. This page covers creating, using, and rotating keys.

​
Create an API key

1

Open your workspace

Log in and open the workspace you want to access via the API.
2

Go to Settings → Developer

Navigate to Settings → Developer.
3

Copy the API key

Copy the API key from the API section.

​
Authenticate a request

Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request as a Bearer token.

​
Rotate a key

Rotating an API key invalidates the previous key immediately. Before rotating, update every server that uses the current key so requests are not interrupted.
Treat your API key as a secret. Never commit it to version control or include it in client-side code. Anyone who has the key can make requests on behalf of your workspace.

​
Scope

An API key carries the permissions of the workspace member who owns it. The API exposes the same data and actions that are available to that user in the dashboard — no more, no less.
