Create an API Key

An API Key is a unique identifier and authentication key providing access to specific issuance and/or verification templates to your applications calling the Gataca Studio APIs.

Once you reach the end of creating an issuance template, you can select to add this template to an API Key. If you don’t have an API Key yet, you’ll have to create one in order to test your Template. The next steps show you how to create a new API Key.

On the left menu, click on API Keys and then click on the “New API Key” button on the right hand side.

 

Set the API basic configuration:

  • API Key Name: Choose an identifier for your API Key

  • DID: Select the DID associated with the new API Key. This will determine which administrators will have access to this API Key (only those with permissions to manage the corresponding DID).

  • SSI Operations: Select the credential issuance template you want to associate with this API Key from the SSI Operations dropdown.

You will be presented with the ID and password of the API Key created.

Make sure to store the API key password in a secure place. Once you close this tab, you will not be able to retrieve the password, you will only be able to regenerate a new password.

How to regenerate password for API Key

Go to API Keys and click on the three dots next to the API you would like to regenerate the password for. Click on Regenerate Password. A new password will immediately be generated.

Remove an API Key

Go to API Keys and click on the three dots next to the API you would like to remove from the list. Select Delete and confirm your decision.
