API Keys

Generating an API Key

To authenticate requests to the Ebbot API, you must generate an API key within the Ebbot interface.

The keys mentioned in this article are valid exclusively for the Ebbot API. They cannot be used to authenticate requests to the EbbotGPT API.

1. In the sidebar, go to Settings > Integrations > API keys.

2. Click the New button in the top-right corner.

3. Assign a name to the key and select an expiration date.

4. Click Save to create the key.

Security & Storage The full API key consists of a public key and a private key joined by a dot (e.g., <public>.<secret>). This full key will be displayed only once. Please save it securely immediately after generation. Expiration & Lifecycle The API key remains valid until the expiration date selected during creation. Once this date passes, the key will automatically stop functioning.

Creating keys without an expiration date is a security risk. If a permanent key is compromised, it allows unauthorized access indefinitely until manually revoked. We strongly recommend setting an expiration date to ensure regular key rotation.

Authentication

When making calls, include the full API key in the request header:

x-api-key: <public-key>.<secret-key>
