API Keys
Generate API keys for programmatic access to the Boltline API. API keys allow you to build custom integrations, automate workflows, or query Boltline data from external applications.
Creating an API Key
- Click your avatar and display name in the sidebar (left side, near the top) to open User Preferences.
- Navigate to the API Keys tab.
- Enter a name for your key in the Add Key field.
- Click the + button to generate the key.
The full API key is only displayed once, immediately after creation. Copy it to a secure location before leaving the page. After you navigate away, the key will be masked and cannot be retrieved.
Managing API Keys
Your API keys are displayed in a table showing:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name you assigned to the key |
| Created | When the key was generated |
| Last Used | When the key was last used to access the API (or "never" if unused) |
| Key | The key value (masked after initial creation) |
Copying a Key
Click the copy icon next to a newly created key to copy it to your clipboard. Remember: After you navigate away, the key will be masked and cannot be retrieved.
Deleting a Key
Click the trash icon to permanently delete a key. This action cannot be undone, and any applications using that key will lose access.
Using Your API Key
The Boltline API is a GraphQL API. For full API documentation and schema exploration, visit the Boltline API Documentation.
