API Keys

API keys allow you to programmatically access Skippy ID's features, enabling integration with your own applications and automated workflows.

Creating API Keys

1. Navigate to your organization settings and go to "API Keys"
2. Click "Create API Key" and provide a name
3. Important: Copy the API key immediately - you won't be able to see it again
4. Store it securely (use environment variables, never commit to version control)

Using API Keys

Include your API key in the Authorization header when making API requests:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Security

• Never share API keys publicly or commit them to version control
• Use HTTPS for all API requests
• Rotate keys periodically
• Store keys in environment variables or secure configuration files

Next Steps

• Review the API Reference for detailed endpoint information
• Learn about Webhooks for real-time event notifications
