Overview
API keys are essential for enabling integrations with Mobaro. These keys help identify and authenticate third-party applications or systems interacting with your Mobaro platform. Configuring API keys properly ensures secure access while maintaining operational integrity.
How to Access API Keys
Log in to the Mobaro Backend.
Navigate to the Configuration section.
Select the API Keys tab from the menu.
Creating a New API Key
Open the API Keys Tab
In the Configuration section, click on API Keys.
Click the Add Button (+)
Select the + button to open the "Configure API Key" dialog box.
Configure the Key
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the key to identify its purpose.
Tip: Use unique names for keys to easily identify their purpose in integrations and audit them efficiently later.
Save the Key
Click Save to generate the new API key. A prefix for the key will appear in the table.
Warning: API keys are only viewable once at the time of creation. Be sure to securely store the full key immediately after generating it. For security reasons, Mobaro Support cannot retrieve or view the key after it has been created. If the key is lost, you will need to generate a new one and update any integrations using the previous key.
