API Keys

Generate and manage API keys for secure access to ChordFlow services and integrations with external tools and applications.

What are API Keys?

API keys are secure tokens that allow external applications and services to access your ChordFlow organization's data and functionality:

Authenticate without exposing user credentials

Control exactly what data and operations are accessible

Track all API usage for security and compliance

Simple token-based authentication for developers

ChordFlow API keys support granular permission scopes to ensure security:

View documents, projects, and team information

Create and modify documents, projects, and workflows

Manage team members, organization settings, and permissions

Generate new API keys through the ChordFlow dashboard:

Go to your organization settings page

Click on the "API Keys" section

Click "Generate New API Key" and set permissions

Securely store the generated key (it won't be shown again)

API keys can be used in various ways to access ChordFlow services:

Include the key in the Authorization header for HTTP requests to ChordFlow's REST API.

Configure your AI assistant with the API key for Model Context Protocol connections.

Follow these security guidelines when working with API keys:

Never commit API keys to version control or share them publicly. Always use environment variables for key storage.

Rotate Keys Regularly: Generate new keys periodically and retire old ones
Use Minimum Permissions: Only grant the scopes necessary for each integration
Store Securely: Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
Monitor Usage: Regularly review API key usage and audit logs
Revoke Unused Keys: Delete API keys that are no longer needed
