API Keys¶
Overview¶
API Keys under Developer Settings let administrators create and manage project API keys used for programmatic access to Yappes platform APIs.
Open Developer Settings → API Keys in the Admin Console.
Why This Matters¶
- Secure automation and integration with expiring credentials.
- Audit of creation date and last-used timestamp.
- One-time display of full key material on create.
Features¶
- Search by API key name.
- Create, view, edit name, and delete keys.
- Masked key display in the grid.
List Columns¶
