Note

Kevel API keys are not user specific. They grant access to any API to any user in your account.

❗️

Warning

Kevel API keys are sensitive data! Treat them as you would a password to a production software system!

3. Click "Save"
4. A new key will appear in the API Key list

Activating and Deactivating API Keys

Use the toggles next to an API key to activate or deactivate the key.

Editing API Keys
