API keys allow you to securely connect your applications with our Business API services. This guide walks you through the simple process of generating an API key for your account.

Important: Your API key will only be shown once. Make sure to copy and store it in a secure location immediately after generation.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Navigate to Business API

From your main dashboard, locate and click on the "Business API" option in the left navigation menu.

2. Access API Keys Section

Once the Business API menu expands, select the "API Keys" option from the submenu.

3. Generate a New Key

Scroll to the bottom of the API Keys page and click the "Generate" button. You'll see a confirmation screen explaining that this will create a unique key to access API services.

4. Copy Your API Key

After generation, your new API key will be displayed on screen. Click the "Copy" button next to the key to copy it to your clipboard.

Security Notice: The key will disappear after you've copied it as a security measure. You will not be able to retrieve this key again, so ensure you store it safely.

5. Complete the Process

After copying your key, click the "Done" button to finalize the process. You should see a confirmation message that your API key has been copied to clipboard.

Next Steps

  • Store your API key in a secure password manager or secret management system

  • Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source code repositories

  • Consider setting up token expiry policies for enhanced security

  • Use your new API key to authenticate your API requests following our API Documentation

Important Note

Only businesses that have been approved to access the API will have the ability to generate an API Key. If you don't have access to the API, please send an email to [email protected] explaining your use case and what APIs you want access to.
