Generate Credentials for an Application

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Generate credentials (API keys) for an application. The API key identifies and authenticates the developer application making a call. Use the API key either in the request URL (as a query parameter), or in the request header. An API key generated in the Konnect Dev Portal is a 32-character string associated with an application.

You can generate multiple credentials and delete as needed.
