Keys make API connections possible. An application programming interface, or API, is a collection of guidelines and conventions used while creating and utilizing software applications. It establishes the protocols and data structures that apps may utilize to speak with one another, share information, and carry out different tasks.

Here is how to utilize Keys:

• Visit the keys section within the Integrations section of the Admin dashboard of the targeted hub.

• Click on the “+New” button.

• Describe what this API would be used for. In the Source CIDR section, provide the IP address you want to use to access this API. You can also use 0.0.0.0/32 to access the API from any IP address. Select the domain according to the API used. Select Hub if it is for a function on an Hub or Manage if the API is to manage the Hub or something within it, then click “Save.”

•  You will be provided with a private key. Copy that key and keep it saved under the API’s name, as you will need it to access the API. This private key will only be visible after an API is created and never again.

• Once you get the key, visit Manage API or Hub API and then see the section according to the API you created to access by adding the key in Authorization and Host in the Host section. 

Note: Link to APIs are Manage API or Hub API
