Creating an API key
FireHydrant allows you to access the API with an API key using token-based authentication. An API key can perform actions like any other user and by default, it will have Owner privileges.
Note: Only Organization Owners can create API keys.
Creating the API key
- Go to Settings > Integrations > API Keys.
- Click + Create API key. The next page provides fields for a name and description of the key; these fields are for your reference and do not impact how the API is used.
- Provide the name and description and click Save. You will be redirected back to the API keys page, where your token is displayed.

Note: This token will only be displayed once.
- Copy the API key and record it somewhere safe, as it grants access to the FireHydrant API on behalf of your organization.
