API settings

This article explains the API settings section available on the Tekst platform.

Navigating

To access the API settings page, navigate to the following URL:

https://{customer}.tekst.com/settings/apikeys

You can also reach this page from the dashboard by following: Settings > API Keys

Managing API keys

The API settings section allows you to:

1. View all existing API keys
2. Revoke API keys when necessary
3. Examine the groups, resources, and scopes associated with each key

Adding API keys

There are two methods for creating new API keys:

1. Inline creation: Keys can be generated automatically when setting up integrations or in other contexts where API access is required
2. Explicit creation: Keys can be created directly through the API key settings tab

When explicitly creating an API key, you must provide a name and specify the appropriate scopes. For security best practices, we recommend avoiding overly broad scopes.
