In this tutorial, we're going to generate some API tokens that will be needed for the integration process. There are three types of API tokens that can be generated to complete the integration process. Here is a breakdown of each.
Token Type | Description |
Public | Token that can be placed inside publicly distributed client-side code. This may be a website or a mobile app. |
Private | Token that can be used to make calls from your servers to ours. These tokens should never be included anywhere that will be publicly accessible. |
If you don't have a developer role, you may not have access to manage your API in the dashboard. Contact your admin to update your account access level to developer.
Once you created the needed access tokens, you can process the integration options that fit your needs.
Navigate to your API -> Manage Keys section:
1. Click on the Create API Key
2. Provide key details and click Save
Your secret API key can be used to make any API call on behalf of your account. Ensure it is kept out of any version control system you may be using.
Please note that the secret keys are only visible the first time you create them. After that, the Dashboard redacts the API key. If you lose your secret key, you can't recover it and must create another one.
