How to Obtain, Use, and Manage API Keys in Recruiterflow
API keys in Recruiterflow are essential for integrating with third-party tools, custom applications, and other services. This guide explains how to obtain, use, and manage API keys effectively.
Overview of API Keys in Recruiterflow
API keys are unique to each Recruiterflow account and are shared among all users within the same account.
They are used for authentication when integrating with tools like Zapier, HubSpot, or custom careers pages.
API keys are not visible in the Recruiterflow user interface and must be requested from the support team.
How to Obtain an API Key
Request from Support: To obtain an API key, contact the Recruiterflow support team or your account administrator. API keys are issued manually for security reasons.
Account-Wide Key: Each account has a single API key that can be used by all users for integrations.
Using API Keys for Integrations
Use the API key to authenticate requests when integrating with tools like Zapier, HubSpot, or custom applications.
Refer to the Recruiterflow API documentation for details on available endpoints and usage.
Troubleshooting API Key Issues
If your API key is not working, ensure that the integration is properly initialized. If the issue persists, contact the support team for assistance.
API keys cannot be generated or retrieved directly from the user interface due to security concerns. Always request assistance from support if needed.
Regenerating or Rotating API Keys
If your API key is exposed or you need to rotate it, request a new API key from the support team. The old key will be invalidated, and a fresh key will be issued.
Security Best Practices
Store your API key securely and do not share it publicly.
Use the API key only for authorized integrations and applications.
Regularly review and update your API key if you suspect it has been compromised.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage API keys in Recruiterflow and ensure seamless integrations with your tools and applications.
