To access the API, you'll need to generate a personal API key. This key grants you the same permissions as if you were logged in to your ActiveCalculator account, so it's crucial to keep it secure and avoid sharing it with others.
In this article, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of generating an API key for your ActiveCalculator workspace.
Step 1: Access Your ActiveCalculator Settings
- Log in to your ActiveCalculator account at app.activecalculator.com.
- Click on your profile icon located in the top-right corner of the application.
- From the dropdown menu, select "Settings."
Step 2: Navigate to the API Keys Page
- In the settings menu, locate and click on the "API Keys" option.
- You will be directed to the API Keys management page.
Step 3: Generate a New API Key
- On the API Keys page, click on the "Add API Key" button.
-
On the API Keys page, fill in the "API Key Label" field with a descriptive name for your key. This label will help you identify the purpose of the key later on.
-
A new API key will be generated specifically for your ActiveCalculator workspace.
Step 4: Copy and Securely Store Your API Key
- Once the API key is generated, make sure to copy it immediately.
- Store the API key in a secure location, such as a password manager or an encrypted file.
⚠️ Important: For security reasons, you won't be able to view the API key again after this point. If you lose the key, you'll need to generate a new one.
Tips and Best Practices:
- Keep your API key confidential and avoid sharing it with anyone.
- If you suspect that your API key has been compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.
- Use environment variables or secure configuration files to store your API key in your application's codebase, rather than hardcoding it.
By following these steps, you'll be able to generate an API key for your ActiveCalculator workspace and start leveraging the power of its API to enhance your own applications.
Remember, anyone who has access to your API key has full control over your ActiveCalculator account, so it's essential to prioritize the security of your key at all times.
