# API Keys

> Generate and manage API keys for authenticating programmatic access to Nota AI.

# 🔑 API Keys

API keys let you trigger workflows and interact with Nota AI programmatically. Manage all your keys from **Settings → API Keys**.

***

## Navigating to API Keys

1. Open **Settings** from the left sidebar in the Nota AI dashboard.
2. Select **API Keys** from the settings navigation.

***

## Viewing Your API Keys

The API Keys page lists all keys created for your team. Each row shows:

| Column      | Description                            |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Name**    | The label you gave the key at creation |
| **Created** | Date the key was generated             |
| **Actions** | Delete the key                         |

> ⚠️ For security reasons, the full key value is shown **only once**—immediately after creation. Store it somewhere safe before closing the modal.

***

## Generating a New API Key

1. Navigate to **Settings → API Keys**.
2. Click **"Create New Key"** in the top right.
3. Enter a descriptive name for the key (e.g., `CI Pipeline`, `Dev Integration`).
4. Click **"Create API Key"**.
5. Copy the key from the confirmation dialog—it will not be shown again.

***

## Deleting a Key

1. Locate the key you want to remove in the table.
2. Open the row's action menu (⋯) and select **Delete**.
3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears.

Deleting a key immediately revokes it—any integrations using that key will stop authenticating until updated with a new one.
