API keys control access to your Screenloop data. Managing them properly helps keep your integrations secure and reliable
For API usage details, see the Screenloop API documentation.
Only Admins can manage API keys because they provide access to sensitive ATS data
1. Creating an API Key
Use clear, descriptive key names (e.g. ‘BI Dashboard’, ‘HR Sync’) to easily track where each key is used
Create an API Key
Go to Settings > API Keys
Click Generate API Key
Enter a Key Name
Click Generate
Copy the API key
Important:
This is the only time your API key will be visible. Store it securely. You won’t be able to view it again.
Treat your API key like a password. Never share it publicly or commit it to source control.
2. Rename an API Key
Go to Settings > API Keys
Click the ellipsis (…) next to the key
Select Edit Key Name
Enter the new name
Click Save
3. Revoke a key
Go to Settings > API Keys
Click the ellipsis (…) next to the key
Click Revoke
Confirm in the modal
Revoke keys immediately if they are no longer needed or may be compromised
4. Re-enable a key
Re-enable keys to quickly restore access without creating a new integration.
Go to Settings > API Keys
Click the Refresh icon next to the key
Click Re-enable to confirm
Best practices for API keys:
Use one key per integration
Name keys clearly
Store keys securely
Revoke unused or compromised keys
