Create an API key

Note

Only Sitecore Cloud Portal team members with the necessary roles can create API keys.

API keys allow a developer to authorize the API requests they make to Sitecore CDP REST APIs.

To create an API key:

On the navigation menu, click Developer Center > API keys. The API Keys screen displays.
Click Create. The New API key screen displays.
Complete the following fields:
- Name - Enter a name for the API key.
- Features - Select the feature that the API key is for.
Click Save.

The API key and the API secret display.
Copy the API key and the API secret because you won't be able to view them again in Sitecore CDP. The developer will use the API key and the API secret to request an access token. After the developer retrieves the access token, they can start using those Sitecore CDP REST APIs that require authorization.
