Obtain API Keys

Generate an API key in Settings → Integrations and send it as X-Api-Key from your server.

API keys are included on Scale and Custom plans. If Settings → Integrations does not list API keys, your plan does not include API access. Trial accounts can ask Sales to enable a key for evaluation.

Send the key on every REST call as X-Api-Key. Also send X-Format: default. Use the key from your server, not from a browser page - see Common Issues.


Generate a key

In the Dacast UI, open Settings on the left, then Integrations.

Settings menu, Integrations

The page lists existing keys and their names.

Click New API Key, enter a name, then copy the key. Treat it as a secret: do not commit it, and do not put it in client-side JavaScript.

Next: Make Your First API Call.
