How to Access the APIs

1. Access API keys
To use the APIs, you need to have access to the following three API keys:

  • User API Key
  • Org API Key
  • Secret Key

Only Data or Super Admins can access all 3 keys.

Click the “API Access” tab on your profile page to find the User API key, Org API Key, and Secret Key.

2. Generate an Access Token
To make authentication secure, you’ll use an encrypted, time-sensitive token (valid for up to 1 hour) to pass your keys over to SpatialKey. An access token will be created that can be used to make API calls.

3. Make API calls
Use the access token each time you make a call to one of our APIs to authenticate.
