Overview
API Keys manages the production key that authenticates requests to the public SalesHive Platform API for this client. Each client has one active key at a time. Create a key, copy it once at creation (the full value is shown only that once), and use Rotate to replace it or Revoke to disable it. A status band shows whether a key is active and how many total requests it has served, and revoked keys are retained for reference.
How to use this page
Check the status
The status band shows whether an active key is ready, the base API URL (with a Copy button), the total request count, and how many revoked keys are retained. If there is no active key, create one before connecting an integration.
Create a key
When no active key exists, name it (for example, Production API Key) and click Create API key. The full key is shown only once, so click Copy and store it in your integration's secret manager immediately.
Rename or review the active key
The Active Key card shows the masked key plus when it was created, last used, and how many requests it has served. Click Rename to relabel it; the masked value and stats stay the same.
Rotate or revoke
Rotate key immediately revokes the current key and issues a new one (copy the new value right away). Revoke key disables the key without a replacement. Both ask you to confirm, since any integration using the old key stops working until updated. Rotated and revoked keys move to Key History, kept for audit reference with their masked value and timestamps.
