API Keys

> **Enterprise plan only.** API key management requires an Enterprise subscription. [Learn more about Enterprise](/enterprise)

Generate API keys to authenticate calls to your robots from external code, scripts, or integrations.

## Before You Start

API key management requires **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** to be enabled on your account. If 2FA is not set up, you'll be prompted to enable it before accessing this page.

Go to **Settings → Security** to set up 2FA first.

## Create an API Key

1. Go to **Settings → API Keys**.
2. Enter an optional name for the key (e.g. "Production", "CI/CD pipeline").
3. Click **Create New Key**.
4. Copy the key immediately — it will be partially masked after you leave the page.

> ⚠️ The full key value is only shown once. Store it securely — treat it like a password.

## Use the Key

Pass the key in the `Authorization` header of every API request:

```
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
```

See [API Direct Connect](/docs/en-us/integrations/api-direct-connect) for full endpoint reference and code examples.

## Manage Keys

Each key shows:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Name | Label you gave the key when creating it |
| Key | Masked value (`sk-xxx...xxxx`) with copy and reveal buttons |
| Status | `Active` or `Disabled` |
| Created | Creation date |
| Last Used | Last request date, or "Never" |

To **delete** a key, click the delete icon on the key card and confirm. Deletion is immediate and irreversible — any code using that key will stop working.
