How to Add and Manage an API Key for Programmatic Access
Last updated: May 26, 2026
1. Open Organization Settings
Start from your company workspace.
Open the company drop-down menu.
Select View organization settings.
This is the entry point for setting up API-based authentication.
2. Go to the API Keys Section
In organization settings, look to the right-hand side of the page.
Click the API keys button.
This opens the area where you can create and manage keys.
3. Create a New API Key
Click Add an API key.
A new key will be generated for you.
Important: copy the key immediately when it appears, because this is the only time it will be visible.
4. Save the Key Before Closing
Copy the generated API key right away.
After you close the dialog, the full key will no longer be shown.
You can then confirm the key was added to your list of API keys.
5. Delete a Key if It Becomes Exposed
If an API key is exposed or you suspect a security issue, locate the red delete button next to the key.
Click the delete button.
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Press Enter to finalize removal of the key.
6. Finish
The API key setup process is complete.
You can now use the key for programmatic access to the Light Lab system.
