API Keys

Create a new API key

Create a new API key for the authenticated user. The plaintext key is returned only in this response. Treat it as a write-only, sensitive value; it cannot be retrieved later. Authenticate with a management key. The optional external object associates the key with a partner-defined user and lookup key.
