Introduction

API keys functionality allows you to generate a unique token that can be used for authentication when making an API call. It is required to communicate with Alumio API.

API Key can be created by navigating to Access Control → API keys.

Setting up API keys

To create a new API key, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Once in the API keys view, hit “+” to create a new one.

Step 2: Give your token a name.

Step 3: Hit “Create”.

Step 4: Click “Copy” next to the access token value to get it copied.

This token can be used as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Make sure to save the API key, because it will not be shown again.

You will need to generate an API key and use it as a Bearer token when making API calls in API platforms, such as Postman.

Are API Keys bound to the user that created them, or are they like service accounts?

Hi @h.vennik,

You are correct that each API key is bound to the user who created it. All the API calls that come from the token will be logged as the user’s activities in the Audit Trail page.
