How to generate a new API Key

Modified on Thu, 5 Dec at 1:57 PM


If you want to make requests to our API, you will need an API Key to send in the apikey parameter. Creating one it's rather simple, but before you will need to create a Profile.


To generate a new API Key you will need to follow the guide below.


1. While in the BlockBee's Dashboard, click Settings.


2. In the Settings area, under the Profile Settings section, click API Key.


3. Creating an API Key is straightforward. Simply select the permissions you want to enable. Currently, there is one permission available: Address Override, which lets you specify your wallet address directly in the API request using the address parameter. If you don’t need this feature, you can leave it disabled.


To create the API Key, click Create API Key and enter the OTP code to complete the process.



4. After the previous step, a pop-up will show with your API Key. In this step you only need to copy the API Key and store in a safe place. Please be advised that BlockBee does not store your API Keys, so if you lose your API Key, you will need to generate a new one using the Generate new API Key button.
