API Key Management

The API Keys page in the Lumea Dashboard allows you to create, manage, and rotate API keys for secure programmatic access to the Lumea platform.

Overview

The API Keys dashboard provides a central location to manage all your authentication credentials:

Creating API Keys

To create a new API key:

1. Navigate to the API Keys page in the dashboard
2. Click the "Create New API Key" button
3. Enter a descriptive name for your key
4. Select the appropriate permissions and scope
5. Click "Create" to generate the key

IMPORTANT

When a new API key is created, the secret key is only displayed once. Make sure to copy and store it securely, as you won't be able to retrieve it later.

Managing API Keys

From the API Keys dashboard, you can:

• View all active and inactive API keys
• See when each key was created and last used
• Revoke keys that are no longer needed
• Monitor the usage patterns of each key

Best Practices

For optimal security:

• Create separate API keys for different applications or services
• Rotate keys regularly (every 90 days recommended)
• Apply the principle of least privilege when assigning permissions
• Revoke unused or compromised keys immediately
