Obtaining Authentication Keys

The Auth Key is required to authenticate the APIMatic APIs. It is passed in as an Authorization header when making calls to the API for SDK code generation and API transformations.

1. Once you have logged in, click on Settings from the navigation menu on the left, then click on Account Settings.

   

   For legacy dashboard users: Click on the arrow visible next to your name on the header navigation. From the drop-down menu, click on Settings.

   

2. From the left context menu, click on API Authentication.

   

3. Create a new Auth Key by entering a descriptive name for your Auth Key in the API Key Identifier box, so that you can know later where it is being used. Click on Add.

   

4. Copy the newly added Auth Key. This is the key that you will pass in the Authorization header to authenticate the API.
