Overview

API keys are powerful tools that enable secure and controlled access to Mobaro's functionalities. In this article, we will walk you through a simple process to generate your unique API key, granting you seamless integration with Mobaro and the ability to harness its capabilities.

Users must be Super Users or have the following roles to manage API keys:

  • Organization: Administrate


Creating an API key

To create an API key, follow the below steps:

  1. Navigate to Configuration

  2. Click on API Keys

  3. Click the + create button

  4. Input a name for your API key

  5. Click Create

  6. Take note of the generate API key as you will not be able to see this key again within Mobaro. If you lose the key, you will need to create a new one.

Note: API keys are created with the same permission levels as the user who created them. Keys created by Super Users maintain all permissions while a user with no extra permissions will be much more limited.


Deleting an API key

To delete an API key, follow the below steps:

  1. Navigate to Configuration

  2. Click on API Keys

  3. Select the API Key you wish to delete

  4. Click the Delete button

  5. Confirm you want to delete this key

Important! Deleted keys cannot be recovered by you or Mobaro staff. Any program or integration utilizing a deleted key will immediately stop interfacing with Mobaro until a new, active key is put in as a replacement.


Troubleshooting & FAQ

  1. I forgot my API key, can you help find it?

    1. Mobaro staff is unable to recover or see created API keys. You need to delete the associated key and create a new one.

  2. Why is my key is giving me 401 errors?

    1. An API key's access relies on the user that created it. For example, if you are trying to POST a User, but the user who created the key cannot CREATE Users, you will encounter a 401 Unauthorized error from the API return.
