Creating API Keys
Generate and manage API keys from your account to authenticate requests and access BrickHatch data programmatically.
Overview
API keys let you access BrickHatch programmatically without using your password. They are used for integrations, scripts, or tools that need to interact with your account. Each API key is unique and should be kept private. Anyone with access to your key can act on your behalf. You can manage API keys via Account Settings > API Keys
Creating an API Key
To generate a new API key:
- Enter Name - Add a descriptive name to identify what the key will be used for
- Create Key - Click Create API Key to generate a new key
- Copy Immediately - Click Copy API Key right away, it will only be shown once
You will not be able to view the full API key again after leaving the page.
Managing API Keys
All created keys are listed in your API keys table.
- Delete Key - Click the trash icon to revoke access immediately
Deleting a key will instantly stop all applications using it from accessing your account.
Security Notes
- Keep private - API keys should never be shared
- Treat like a password - Anyone with your key can access your account data
- Rotate keys if exposed - If a key is leaked or compromised, delete it immediately and create a new one
If an API key is exposed, revoke it immediately to prevent unauthorized access.
