Generating and revoking API keys

API keys let external tools and integrations talk to Chamberly. You can issue read-only and read-write keys with scoped permissions, then revoke them anytime.

• Decide what the key is for and the minimum permissions needed.

• Have a secure place to store the key (a password manager is ideal).

• Confirm the integration accepts bearer-token authentication.

1. Open Settings > API Keys.

2. Click Generate Key.

3. Name the key (for example Zapier - Read Members) and pick a scope.

4. Choose Read-Only or Read-Write.

5. Click Create. Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once.

6. Paste the key into your integration's authentication field.

7. To revoke a key later, find it in the list and click Revoke.

• Issue one key per integration so you can revoke individually.

• Use the most restrictive scope possible — read-only when reads suffice.

• Rotate keys annually as a security hygiene habit.

I lost my key — can I see it again?
No. Keys are shown once. Revoke and generate a new one.

Are there usage limits?
Yes. Each plan has a request rate limit. Check Settings > API Keys > Usage for current numbers.
