How to Generate and Manage API Keys

API keys allow you to connect your Hinto AI content to other applications and services, like Framer. This guide will show you how to generate a new API key for your project and manage existing keys. You will need owner or admin permissions for the project to create or manage API keys.

Generate a New API Key

1. Navigate to the project you want to generate an API key for.
2. Click the Project Settings icon in the top-left corner of the editor.
3. In the Project Settings window, select the API Keys tab from the left-hand menu.
4. Click the New API Key + button.
5. In the Create New API Key pop-up window, enter a descriptive name for your key in the Name field. This will help you identify its purpose later (e.g., 'Framer Integration').
6. Click the Create API Key button to generate the key.
7. Your new API key will be displayed. Click the copy icon to copy the key to your clipboard.
8. Once you have saved your key in a secure location, click the I've saved the API key securely button.

Important Security Note

For your security, the full API key is only displayed once, immediately after creation. Be sure to copy and store it in a safe and secure place, such as a password manager. If you lose the key, you will need to delete it and create a new one.

Manage Your API Keys

You can view a list of all active API keys for your project or delete keys that are no longer needed.

1. Go to Project Settings > API Keys to see all the keys you have created.
2. To delete a key, click the trash can icon next to the key you wish to remove.
3. A confirmation pop-up will appear. Click Delete to permanently revoke the API key.
