API keys allow external applications and integrations to securely access the Kitchen API.
They can be used to build custom integrations or connect Kitchen to automation platforms such as Zapier and Pabbly Connect.
The Kitchen API follows REST principles, uses predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON responses, and uses standard HTTP methods, authentication, and response codes.
Using the API, you can automate workflows and interact with Kitchen resources, including:
Creating and managing resources
Creating and managing clients
Inviting users
Managing folders and boards
and much more.
To learn more, visit the API documentation.
Creating an API Key
To create a new API key in your Kitchen workspace:
Go to Settings in the sidebar.
Select API.
Click Create API Key.
Enter a name for the API key.
Click Create.
A new API token will be generated and displayed.
Use the Copy button next to the token to copy it to your clipboard.
Important: Make sure to copy your API token immediately. For security reasons, the full token will only be displayed once and cannot be viewed again.
Managing API Keys
The API page displays a list of all existing API keys.
For each key, you'll see:
Name
Date Created
Sorting API Keys
You can sort the list by clicking the Name or Created column headers.
Clicking the same column repeatedly toggles between:
Ascending order
Descending order
The current sort direction is indicated by the arrow displayed next to the column label.
By default, API keys are sorted by creation date, with the oldest keys displayed first.
Editing an API Key
To update an API key:
Click the Edit button next to the key.
Update the API key name.
Click Save.
The key value itself cannot be modified.
Deleting an API Key
There are two ways to delete an API key:
From the API Key List
Click the Trash icon next to the API key.
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
From the Edit Window
Click the Edit button next to the API key.
Click the Trash icon.
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Once deleted, the API key will immediately stop working and cannot be restored.
Important: Any applications or integrations using the deleted API key will lose access to the Kitchen API until a new key is created and configured.
