Creating API Keys

Machine Users can have multiple API Keys to make it easy to rotate keys. Every API key also has fine grained permissions.

Step 1: Create a machine user

Go to Settings -> Machine Users and click "Add Machine User".

Step 2: Create an API Key

Click "Add API Key" and select the permissions you need. Once you've made an API key you should copy it and put it somewhere safe, as you will not be able to see it again once you navigate away.

Step 3: Go build things

Now that you have an API key you can use this with our SDKs or within any API call as a header:

Authorization: Bearer plainApiKey_xxx
