Create and revoke a Loopster API key

Create a named API key with a role and an expiry for another tool, and revoke it on its own.

Written by Umer Ishaq

A Loopster API key lets another tool use Loopster in a workspace.

Where do I find the keys?

Open Settings, then Loopster API. The page says: "Keys and agents that let other tools use Loopster's API in this workspace. Keys for services Loopster runs on, like Apollo, are in Connections."

Under API Keys each key shows its name, who created it and when, when it was last used and when it expires, the key with only its last four characters, a role menu, and Revoke. The page says: "Each key has a name and a role, and can be revoked on its own. Keep them secret; do not share them publicly."

How do I create a key?

  1. Under Create a key, type a name in the box (the hint shows e.g. Zapier, nightly sync). The text says "Name it after what will use it. Give it the least access that integration needs."

  2. Pick a role. The menu starts on Editor — read, write and run. The options are:

    • Member — read only

    • Editor — read, write and run

    • Admin — everything an API key can do

  3. Pick when it ends. The menu starts on Never expires. The options are Never expires, Expires in 30 days, Expires in 90 days and Expires in 1 year.

  4. Next to it is a tick box, Can't start paid work. It is empty when the page opens.

  5. Click Create key.

The Create a key form: a name box, a role menu showing Editor - read, write and run, an expiry menu showing Never expires, an empty Can't start paid work tick box and a Create key button.

How do I revoke a key?

Click Revoke on the key's row.

Good to know

  • Keys belong to a workspace. A workspace's own settings page lists its keys too.

  • Give a key the least access it needs, and keep it out of public places.

  • The API Docs link in the Settings sidebar goes to docs.loopster.ai.
