API Keys enable programmatic access to OpenRails. Use them to integrate chatbots and Data Lakes into your own applications, mobile apps, or automated workflows.
The table displays:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Key classification |
| Name | Your custom identifier |
| Prefix | Short identifier (full key shown only once) |
| Created | When the key was generated |
| Created by | User or system that created it |
Use the search bar to find keys by name or prefix.
The full API key is displayed only once at creation time. If you lose it:
Keys need associations to access resources:
Create keys with minimal permissions:
| Key Purpose | Recommended Associations |
|---|---|
| Mobile app | Single chatbot only |
| Internal dashboard | Specific bots needed |
| Admin automation | All required resources |
| Testing | Test environment only |
| Action | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Edit | Rename for better identification |
| Rotate | Periodically for security, or if compromised |
| Delete | When no longer needed |
Ensure no applications depend on the key—they'll stop working immediately.
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
