API keys
Every call to the Base APIs uses an API key that belongs to one brand.
Making a key
Expires
Optional. After this date the key stops working.
Limit per minute
How many calls the key may make each minute.
Treat it like a password
When a key is made, Base shows the full key once. Copy it then and store it somewhere safe. After that, only the label and its status are shown.
Status of each key
- Active: the key works.
- Expired: its expiry date has passed.
- Revoked: someone revoked it.
- Each key shows when it was last used and how many calls it has made.
Revoke or delete
Revoke
Calls using the key get 401 at once. The key stays in the list as revoked.
Delete
The key and its audit row are removed for good. This cannot be undone.
Who can manage keys
Only people whose role includes API access can make, revoke or delete keys. Others see the list read-only.
