Multiple API Keys Overview

Flowroute's Multiple API Key system allows you to create additional API Keys that can be used with your Flowroute account. These keys can be labeled and expired independently to allow customers to manage their API usage.

The API key management features can be found in Preferences → API Control.

Actions the multiple API key product performs:

• Create new keys.

• Expire keys.

• Delete keys.

• Edit key names, descriptions, and expiration dates.

Create new keys

Creating new keys is done on the API Control page.  

Expire keys

Establishing the expiration date for the created key is done during the key creation process, and can be edited on the API Control page. Expiring a key removes the key from use, but does not remove the key from the account inventory. The expired key can be restored by editing the expiration date. (This is a preferred method to decommission an API key, preventing the result of a deletion being unrecoverable, were something to be missed.)

Delete keys

Keys that are no longer in use by the account can be deleted instead of expired at any time. The deletion is permanent and does not allow for a key to be recovered once removed.  

Edit key names, descriptions, and expiration dates

Editing the key names and other minutiae detailing of the keys can be done on the API Control page. Select the blue Edit button and correct the fields corresponding to the values you wish to change.

IMPORTANT: Account holders with multiple API keys on an account will be informed through email when an API key is about to expire or has expired. The account Dashboard will also display a banner with any keys which have already expired, or will expire soon.
