API Keys

Manage API keys that give programmatic access to your community data, so you can integrate with external tools. This page requires the Business plan or above.

Open it from Admin -> API Keys (the route is /admin/api-keys).

What you can do here

  • Create Key — open a dialog to name a key and select its scopes (read, write, admin), then generate it.
  • Copy the new key — the full key is shown once in a banner right after creation; copy it immediately, as it cannot be viewed again.
  • View existing keys — each card shows the key name, its scopes, a masked prefix, creation date, and last-used date.
  • Revoke a key — delete any key with the trash icon to immediately cut off its access.

Tips

  • Keys grant access to your community data; keep them secret and never put them in client-side code.
  • Only the key prefix is stored after creation, so save the full key in a secure place when you generate it.
