1. Open Organization Settings

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

  • 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.
