API Key – How to Create and Use for Integration


What is an API Key?

An API key is a unique identifier that allows secure communication between Zaptiva and third-party applications. Zaptiva allows users to generate API keys that can be used to securely connect and integrate with external systems. These API keys act as authentication tokens, enabling third-party applications to access and interact with Zaptiva services.

How to Create an API Key

Zaptiva allows users to easily generate API keys from the Integration section. Users can create a new API key by providing a name and an optional description. Once created, the API key is securely generated and can be copied for use in third-party integrations.

Follow the steps below to create an "API Key" in Zaptiva.
1. Navigate to the URL: https://app.zaptiva.com/
2. Log in to your Zaptiva account and Go to the Integration module ,click on "Add API Key".




3.Users can enter a name for the API key based on its purpose, add a description if needed, and click on Generate to create the API key.
