Create an API key

The API lets you create and manage links from your own code.

Generate a key

1. Go to Settings -> API keys.
2. Give the key a name (e.g. Zapier) and click Create.
3. Copy the key now - it starts with pinr_ and is shown only once.

Store it somewhere secret (an environment variable, a secrets manager). If a key leaks, revoke it from the same screen and create a new one.

Scope

Every key is scoped to the workspace it was created in. Requests made with it can only see and change that workspace's links.

Next: the REST API quickstart.
