API Key Management

To begin using Imagine APIs, you’ll first need to set up and manage an API key, which serves as your unique identifier and access token for all API requests. This key is essential for authenticating your application with the Imagine platform and ensures that each request is secure and credited to your account.

We recommend that you use a generic email address (e.g. [e-mail]) to create the Imagine API account that will own your API key.

Not using a personal email address (e.g. [e-mail]) allows you to retain ownership over your details and API key(s) even if members of your team leave your organization.

To create and manage your API keys, navigate to the Imagine API Studio at Imagine Dashboard.

Here, in the Keys tab (Imagine API Settings), you’ll find a complete list of all your active API keys. This section allows you to view, copy, or generate new API keys as needed for your projects.

When setting up a new API key, click on the Create New API Key button.

You’ll be prompted to enter a descriptive name for your key, which can be anything meaningful to your application or project. After naming your key, press Create to finalize it.

Once created, your key will appear in the settings list, ready for use. Simply click on your newly generated key to copy it securely to your clipboard, then paste it into your project’s code where needed.

Keep in mind that your API key is tied to your account and should be kept secret. It should not be shared publicly or with others.

If you believe your API key has been compromised, you should contact our support for assistance​.
