Obtaining an API Key

API Key Security

API Keys grant access to the system via the API with the same permissions as the user that they were created for.

As such they should be treated like passwords and kept secure at all times.

If you believe an API Key to be compromised immediately disable it with the Interu application.

API Keys can be created from within a user profile on the Interu platform.

1. Navigate to User Settings

User Settings Dropdown

2. Select API Keys
