API keys allow you to authenticate your data and establish secure connections between your forms and external services or custom applications. They act as authentication tokens, granting authorized access to specific features and data within your organization’s account.

Managing Created API Keys

After creating your API keys, each key is assigned a default label and granted read-only access by default. You can manage these keys by updating their labels, adjusting permission levels, or revoking access as needed.

Here are the things you can manage:

  • Name — Click the New API Key text to rename your key.
  • Permissions — Keep it set to Read Only to allow view-only access, or choose Full Access to enable adding, editing, and deleting data.
  • Delete — Click the X icon to remove the API key.
