Introduction
API Keys
API keys provide secure access to the Tensor One API. They authenticate your requests and define what level of access your integration has - whether it's retrieving data, submitting tasks, or managing agent configurations.
You can generate API keys with Read or Read & Write permissions depending on what your application needs.
How to Generate an API Key
In the Tensor One Console, navigate to Settings:
- Go to the API Keys section.
- Click + Create API Key.
- Select the appropriate permission level:
- Read – Access data only (safe for dashboards, analytics, etc.)
- Read & Write – Full access (used for creating or modifying resources)
- Click Create.
- Copy and store the key securely - it's only shown once.
Security Reminder: Treat API keys like passwords. Never expose them in frontend code, public repos, or insecure logs.
🗑️ Revoking API Keys
You can revoke access to any API key instantly:
- In Settings, go to API Keys.
- Click the trash icon next to the key.
- Confirm deletion.
Once deleted, any applications using that key will lose access immediately.
