Create and manage API keys

API keys are managed by account owners at the organization level. Team members can view the organization and page IDs needed when using the API, but not API keys. Contact the account owners listed under API info to obtain API key information. View our developer documentation at https://developer.statuspage.io/.

View API keys

1. Click your avatar in the bottom left of the management interface screen.

2. Select API info from the menu that appears. Account owners see a list of organization API keys.

   • Team members see page IDs and the email address(es) of the account owner(s) to contact if they need API key information.
     
     

3. Click Show more to see all your API keys if you have more than five.

Some of these keys may be named “Key migrated from {email address}”. These are keys that belonged to team members prior to restricting access to API keys at the organization level.

IN USE indicates API keys that have been used in the last 6 months.
