Get Your API Key
- Open Settings → API Keys from the dashboard
- Click Create new key, name it, choose an expiration, then click Create key
- Copy the key value — you’ll need it for API requests
Your API key is shown only once. Store it in a secure secret manager (e.g. 1Password, AWS Secrets Manager, Vercel/GitHub environment variables) immediately after creation.
- Never commit keys to source control or share them in plaintext (Slack, email, screenshots).
- Treat the key like a password — anyone with it can call the API and incur usage on your organization.
- If a key is lost or leaked, revoke it from the API Keys page and create a new one.
Set Key Expiration
Every key requires an expiration setting at creation time. Choose one of:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|
| Never | The key stays active until you manually revoke it. |
| Duration | The key expires automatically after the specified time. Maximum 730 days (2 years), in days or months. |
Expired keys stop authenticating immediately and return 401 Unauthorized. Rotate before expiry to avoid downtime — create a new key, update your secret manager, then revoke the old one.
Short-lived keys reduce blast radius if a key is leaked. Pick the shortest duration that fits your rotation schedule.
