Create, save, and rotate an API key

Connect your own application to a subscribed API. Replace a lost key and update every caller that uses it.

Before you start

  • An active subscription to the purchased API.

Create a key in your purchased API

  1. Open “Purchased products” and select the API you want to connect.
  2. Find “API access (advanced)”. Choose “Create API key” if none has been issued. If a key already exists, the action is “Rotate API key”.
  3. When the new key appears, choose “Copy” and save it in your password manager or server secret configuration. The full key is shown only once.
The buyer API access panel shows no API key yet and a Create API key button
Demo data: choose Create API key under API access (advanced), then copy and save the key immediately. View full-size image (opens in a new tab)

Use the key for this product

Send the key in the X-Invokora-Key header on every external call and use the base URL from this product’s detail page. The key grants only this account’s subscribed plan permissions for this API product. It cannot be used across products or bypass endpoint access, quotas, or rate limits.

Keep the key out of public repositories and frontend code distributed to visitors. If the endpoint documentation requires additional buyer authentication, provide it too; the Invokora key does not replace those fields.

The buyer workspace’s “Try It” uses your signed-in session. You do not need a new key for each test.

Rotate a lost or exposed key

  1. Choose “Rotate API key” in the same API detail and confirm the prompt. The old key stops working immediately.
  2. Save the new key immediately and replace the old value in every server, script, and automation that uses it.
  3. Send one request that follows the endpoint documentation to confirm access works with the new key.

If the subscription is paused or canceled

If a payment problem has paused access, open “Billing” and resolve the current subscription’s payment issue first. Rotating a key cannot restore paused access.

Canceling an API subscription disables access immediately without deleting the original key record. To use it again, choose “Resubscribe” in the product detail and confirm the subscription is active before checking your integration.
