An API key is a credential for an outside system: a script, an integration, or another app. The system uses the key to work with CloudRaker without a person in the app. Manage keys on the API keys page under the Admin group.

API keys is admin-only, like the rest of the Admin group. If you do not see it in the sidebar, ask an admin.

The API keys page

Open Admin → API keys in the sidebar. The page description reads “Create and revoke API keys for programmatic access to your organization.”

The page lists every key in your organization. Use it to create new keys. Revoke keys you no longer need or that are possibly exposed.

Treat an API key like a password. A person who has the key can act against your organization through the API. Store keys in a safe location. Revoke a key immediately if you think it leaked.

Using a key

An API key is a bearer credential for the CloudRaker API at https://api.cloudraker.com. Send it as the bearer token on your requests. Your calls then run against your organization.

The Developers tab covers authentication, base URLs, and the full API reference. Start there when you call the API.
