API keys let you connect external tools to your Orbyt pipeline. Each key can be scoped to read-only or read-write access.
Generate a key
- Go to Settings > Account
- Scroll to API Keys
- Click Create API Key
- Enter a name (e.g., "Claude Desktop", "Zapier")
- Choose permissions: Read & Write or Read Only
- Click Generate Token
- Copy the token immediately. It starts with
ext_and will not be shown again.
Manage existing keys
Your active API keys are listed under Settings > Account > API Keys. Each shows:
- The name you gave it
- When it was created
- When it was last used
- A Read Only badge if the key has limited permissions
Revoke a key
Click Revoke next to any key to permanently disable it. Revoked keys cannot be reactivated. Any integration using that key will stop working immediately.
Limits
- Maximum 5 active tokens (extension + API combined)
- If you need more, revoke an unused key first
Security tips
- Use read-only keys for integrations that only need to view data
- Give each integration its own key so you can revoke individually
- Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source code
