API Keys

API keys allow external systems to authenticate with the termco API. Use them to integrate termco with your existing workflows, automation tools, or third-party applications.

Creating an API Key

1. Navigate to Admin > API Keys.
2. Click Create API Key.
3. Enter a name for the key (e.g. “CI Pipeline”, “ERP Integration”).
4. Click Create.
5. Copy the key immediately — it is displayed only once and cannot be retrieved later.

Store the key securely in your application’s secrets manager or environment variables.

Managing API Keys

The API Keys page displays a list of all active keys with:

• Name — The label you assigned when creating the key.
• Created — When the key was created.

Revoking a Key

To revoke an API key:

1. Find the key in the list.
2. Click Revoke.
3. Confirm the revocation.

Revoked keys stop working immediately. Any integration using a revoked key will receive authentication errors.

Security Best Practices

• Never share keys in code repositories, chat messages, or documentation.
• Use descriptive names so you can identify which integration each key belongs to.
• Rotate keys periodically — revoke old keys and create new ones.
• One key per integration — Use separate keys for each external system so you can revoke them independently.
• Minimum access — Only create keys for integrations that genuinely need API access.
