How to create an API key
Generate an API key to connect your website contact form or build a custom integration with Kaliun.
API keys let external tools talk to your Kaliun workspace. You'll need one if you're connecting a website form, building a custom integration, or using the Kaliun API directly.
Open the Developer page
Go to Settings → Developer → API Keys.
Click "New Key"
Give the key a name that describes what it's for — something like "Website contact form" or "Zapier integration". This helps you remember which key is which if you create several.
Click "Create"
Kaliun generates the key and shows it to you one time only. The dialog displays the full key.
Copy and store it immediately
Click the copy button and save the key somewhere secure — a password manager, an environment variable, or your server's secrets store. Once you close this dialog, the key is gone for good.
If you lose the key, you'll need to create a new one. Kaliun stores API keys hashed, so even we can't recover them. You can always delete the old key and generate a replacement.
What happens next
- The key appears in your API Keys list, showing the name, creation date, and last-used timestamp.
- Use the key in the
x-api-keyheader when calling the Kaliun API. - You can revoke (delete) a key at any time — it stops working immediately.
