Managing Management API keys

You can create and manage the API keys used to interact with the Management API. This API is used for backoffice operations, such as importing coupons, or retrieving campaign data.

Feature access
Only admins have access to this feature.

Every Management API key you generate enables the developer to access the endpoints of your choice. Use this feature to increase security by controlling the level of access you want to provide to your developers.

note
  • This authentication scheme is recommended over the bearer token scheme.
  • A Management API key can no longer be used if the user who created it is either disabled or deleted.
