How to create an API key

Obtaining an API key is essential for accessing and integrating with our Application Programming Interface (API). This brief guide will help you generate your unique key, ensuring secure and efficient communication with the API.

1. Click on Configuration in the side menu

2. Click on API tokens

3. Click on Add API token

4. Give your token a name

5. Click on Generate

6. That’s it, token created and ready for use

The token you just created is what authenticates your calls: every request in the endpoint reference carries it in an Access-Token header. For the wider picture, including the v0 version that returns simulated data instead of touching the database, read the API documentation. Practical applications of the API groups the same calls by task, such as managing courses or LTI tools.
