API Keys

URL: /client/api-keys

Generate and manage personal API keys to access the AdminBolt API programmatically.

Overview ​

The API Keys interface lets you create authentication tokens for the AdminBolt API. Each key can be used by scripts, automation tools, or third-party applications to perform actions on your behalf without sharing your panel password.

For detailed documentation, visit docs.adminbolt.com.

Create API Key ​

Click the New API Key button to open the create form (/client/api-keys/create). The form includes:

API Key Details ​

  • Key Name (text, required) - A friendly identifier used to recognize the key later (e.g., Deployment script, Backup tool).

Form buttons: Create, Create & create another, Cancel

After the key is created, the secret token is shown once. Copy and store it securely - for security reasons it cannot be retrieved again from the panel.

Find Keys ​

Use the search bar to quickly locate keys by name.

Key Management ​

When API keys exist, the table lists them with the following information:

  • Name - The key's friendly identifier.
  • Created - Timestamp of key creation.
  • Last Used - Most recent time the key was used to authenticate an API request.
  • Actions - Revoke / delete the key.

Empty State ​

If no API keys have been created, the interface displays No API Keys to indicate the empty state.

Security Tips ​

  • Treat API keys like passwords - never commit them to public repositories.
  • Use a separate key for each application or environment so you can revoke them independently.
  • Revoke any key that may have been exposed and create a new one.

Getting Started ​

Create your first API key by clicking the New API Key button, giving it a recognizable name, and storing the generated token in a secure location.
