Obtaining Your API Key

Prerequisites

Before using the Public API, make sure the following conditions are met:

  1. You are logged into your account.
  2. Your account is on the retail_full or fnb_full plan.
  3. Your user role is Owner or Administrator.

Note: The Public API section is only available under these plans and roles. If your plan or role does not match, the section will not be displayed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to obtain your first API Key.

1. Navigate to Settings

  • Go to Settings in your account.

2. Open the Public API Section

  • Find and select the Public API section.
  • If you are visiting for the first time, the API keys list will be empty and you will be prompted to create a new key.

3. Create a New API Key

  • Click the option to create a new API key.
  • The key will be generated in the following format: fk_live_<64 hexadecimal characters>
  • Save this key securely. You will need it for the next steps.

4. Proceed to Authentication

  • Use the obtained API Key to get a JWT token by following the Public API Authentication guide.
  • Endpoint: POST /api/v1/auth/tokens
  • Detailed steps are described in the dedicated authentication documentation.

Managing Existing API Keys

In the Public API section, you may also:

  • View all created API keys
  • Delete an API key — this will immediately invalidate all tokens associated with that key
