Make an API key with only the permissions your software needs, for tools like Zapier or your own code.

Step by step
- 1
Developer holds what your own software needs: API keys, apps, a sandbox, webhooks and the browser phone. Owners and admins open it.
- 2
Your software sends the key as a Bearer token. Each key gets sixty requests a minute, and sees what the person who made it sees.
- 3
Name the key after what will use it.
- 4
The common permissions start ticked: calls, texts, phone numbers and contacts. Tick any other one it needs.
- 5
Untick what it does not need, like sending texts and placing calls.
- 6
Create key shows the key once. Copy it then: it is never shown again. Here we stop before creating it.
- 7
Active keys lists each key with its first characters, and when it was last used.
- 8
The bin revokes a key: anything using it stops at once.
- 9
You find the same keys under Settings, Company, Developer.
