​
Creating an API Key

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys (useinvent.com/o/settings/api-keys)
  2. Click New API Key in the top right
  3. Enter a name for your key (e.g., “Production Server” or “Development”)
  4. Click Generate
  5. Copy the API key immediately - you won’t be able to see it again
Generate API Key Important: Store your API key securely. It provides full access to your organization’s data.

​
Using API Keys

Include your API key in the Authorization header of your requests: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Example request: 
curl -X GET "https://api.useinvent.com/assistants" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Managing API Keys

Each API key shows:
  • Name: The identifier you provided
  • Token: A preview of the key (full key only shown once at creation)
  • Delete: Remove the key to revoke access
To delete an API key:
  1. Find the key in the list
  2. Click the trash icon
  3. Confirm deletion
Once deleted, any services using that key will immediately lose access.

​
Security Best Practices

  1. Use descriptive names: Name keys by their purpose (“Production”, “Staging”, “Local Dev”)
  2. Rotate keys regularly: Delete old keys and create new ones periodically
  3. Never commit keys to code: Use environment variables instead
  4. Delete unused keys: Remove keys that are no longer needed
  5. Use separate keys for different environments: Don’t share keys between production and development
