Managing API Keys

Managing your API keys is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of your interactions with our API. This section provides detailed information on how to generate, retrieve, rotate, and revoke your API keys.

Generating API Keys

To generate a new API key, follow these steps:

Log in to your account on the Payment Provider dashboard and navigate to the API Keys section under the Settings menu, and click the Create API Key button.

Provide a name for your new API key to help identify its use, and select the applicable permissions. Once the needed permissions has been chosen, click Create.

The created key would be added to the list of API keys and would now be displayed once you navigate to the API keys section.

Managing Existing API Keys

To manage an API key entry, select and click on the name of the API key in the list shown on the API keys page. This would open up a more detailed view of the selected API key. Here you can manage different aspects of the API key.

Retrieving API Keys

To retrieve your secret or public API key, you can either click the eye icon to reveal the API key or click the copy icon to copy it directly.

Reset API keys

Resetting your secret and public API keys is an important step if you suspect they have been compromised or if you want to maintain best security practices by rotating them periodically. A new key will be generated immediately, and you will need to update your application with this new key. Remember to securely store the new key and verify that your application functions correctly with it. Resetting your keys regularly helps ensure that your API interactions remain secure. To do this, click on the reset button which creates a new public and private key
