Create and manage API keys
The Klovio API lets you connect Klovio to custom or in-house systems. Access is controlled by API keys. The API is available on the Enterprise plan.
Create a key
- Go to Settings → Developers → API keys.
- Click Create key and give it a clear name (e.g.
ERP sync). - Choose the environment — sandbox for testing, production for live.
- Copy the key now — it’s shown once and can’t be retrieved later.
Keep keys safe
An API key is a credential. Treat it like a password:
- Never put it in front-end code, a public repo, or a shared document.
- Store it in your system’s secure configuration or secrets store.
- Use separate keys per integration, so you can revoke one without affecting the rest.
Revoke a key
If a key is exposed or no longer needed, revoke it from the same screen. Revoking is immediate — anything using that key stops working at once, so swap in a new key first.
Sandbox vs. production
Build and test against sandbox keys, which use non-live data. Switch to production keys only when your integration is proven.
Tip: name keys for where they’re used and rotate them periodically. A revoked-and-replaced key every few months is cheap insurance.
