Generate an API key

Each API key has a scope (read-only or read-write) and is bound to the user who created it. If the user leaves, the key is revoked.

TL;DR

Profile → API keys → New, copy the key (shown only once).

Steps

1. Profile → API keys → New API key. 2. Set a descriptive name (e.g. “Zapier prod”). 3. Pick scope (read-only or read-write). 4. Set expiration (recommended: 90 days). 5. Press Generate. Copy the key immediately; it is not shown again. 6. Store it in a password manager or environment variable.
