Managing API Keys
API keys are the standard way to authenticate backend integrations with the WazzAPI API.
Creating a Key
- Log in to the WazzAPI dashboard.
- Open Developers.
- Click Create New Key.
- Give your key a descriptive name such as
Production API or CRM sync.
- Choose the scopes your integration needs.
- Copy the key immediately. You will not be able to see it again.
Store your API keys securely. Do not commit them to version control.
Rolling Keys
If you suspect a key has been compromised:
- Create a new key.
- Update your applications to use the new key.
- Delete the old key from the dashboard.
What keys are scoped to
- organization ownership
- permission scopes
- optional expiry windows
- plan and usage enforcement at request time
Revocation and rotation
You can revoke a key immediately or rotate it when you want to replace an existing credential without leaving old secrets active for longer than necessary.
