The API key

An API key is like a password for a software application. It makes sure that the application is allowed to use your data on Hipsy, like your events and recent orders. Every API key is connected to a user, so that we know which data can be accessed.

Create a new API key

You can create a new API key in your Hipsy dashboard. Note that an API key is bound to a user, not to an organisation. Follow these steps to create a new API key:

1. Log in to your Hipsy dashboard.
2. Click on the organisation name in the left sidebar and click on 'Koppelingen'.
3. Click on the button 'Nieuwe API Key' in the top right corner and give your key a name, for example My WordPress website.
4. Save your API key somewhere safe. It is only shown once!

Delete an API key

You can delete an existing API key on the same 'Koppelingen' page. Click on Intrekken next to the key to remove it.

Right after you delete the API key, connected applications no longer have access to your data.
