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 to:
- integrate Ometria with a third party, e.g. Magento or Shopify.
- send to your agency or other third parties via a secure method.
For security purposes, you should always revoke unused API keys and use new ones - this will minimise your exposure to cyber-attacks.
Creating a new API key
In Ometria, go to Settings and select the API keys tab:
Select Add new API key and enter a title for your API key:
Your API key title must be unique.
Click Create. Your new API key displays in the list.
