API keys

Overview

From the API Keys tab in Settings, administrators can create or revoke Ometria API keys. 

An API key is a unique identifier used to authenticate a user, developer, or calling program to an API. You might need to generate an API key if you need to send one to your agency or other third parties via a secure method.

For security purposes, you should always revoke old API keys and use new ones. This will minimise your exposure to cyber attack.

Note: This is not for third party tools, which you must get in touch with your customer success manager to enable. 

Select New API key to generate a new key, and click Revoke to remove it. 

Note: It's best practice to revoke an API key immediately if it becomes inactive, lost or compromised. A revoked API key denies unwanted access to Ometria.
