Dashboard > Data > API keys

An API key lets scripts and integrations work with your blog on your behalf.

Create a key

  1. Go to Data and open API keys.
  2. Click to create a new key, give it a name that says what it is for, such as Zapier, and click Generate key.
  3. Copy the key straight away. It is shown only once.

The API keys tab on the Data page

Keep it safe

A key acts with your account's full permissions on this blog. Anyone who has it can manage content, settings, team, billing and the custom domain through the API.

  1. Store it in a password manager or your tool's secret settings.
  2. Never put it in public code or a web page.
  3. Create one key per tool, so you can revoke one without breaking the others.

Revoke a key

Click revoke next to the key and confirm. Anything using it loses access immediately.

A key also stops working when the person who created it leaves the team, or transfers the blog to someone else.
