From your Admin account, you can create a new API key or delete an existing one.

Good to know

Only users with API keys permission can access the API page on an Admin account, create a new API key, or delete an existing API key. 

Create an API key from an Admin account

To work on technical API integration, you may need to create a new API key from your Admin account:

1. Go to the API tab.
2. Click Generate new API key.
   
3. Name your API key. Make sure it specifies with which integration the API key will be used so that you can easily recognize it.
4. Click Generate.
   
5. Copy your API key and store it in a safe environment.
   
   ❗️ Important

   Your API key is only visible during this step. Once your API key is created, you won't be able to copy it anymore, and you'll need to create a new one if you lose it.
6. Click OK.

You have now successfully created a new API key from your Admin account.

Delete an API key from an Admin account

If your Admin account has been compromised or if you no longer use an integration that requires a particular API key, you can delete that API key:

1. Go to the API tab.
2. Select the API key that you want to delete.
3. Click Delete API key.
   
4. Check the Yes, I want to delete the key checkbox.
5. Click Delete to confirm.

You have now successfully deleted your API key from your Admin account.
