Generating and Rotating API Keys
How to create, scope, and safely rotate API keys for OptoGlide's REST API.
Creating an API key
Navigate to Workspace Settings > API Access and select “New API key.” Give the key a descriptive name indicating its purpose, for example “Marketing automation integration,” so it is identifiable later.
Scoping permissions
Each API key can be scoped to specific permissions: read-only access to assets, generation access for specific studios, or full workspace access. Scope keys as narrowly as possible for the integration they support.
Rotating a key safely
To rotate a key without downtime, create a new key with the same scope, update your integration to use the new key, confirm the integration is working correctly, then revoke the old key from Workspace Settings > API Access.
Revoking a compromised key
If a key is exposed or compromised, revoke it immediately from Workspace Settings > API Access. Revocation takes effect within seconds, and all requests using the revoked key will begin returning a 401 error.
Monitoring API key usage
View recent request activity per key, including request volume and error rates, under Workspace Settings > API Access > Usage, useful for identifying unused keys that can be safely revoked.
