Manage API Keys
Create, rotate, and revoke API keys
API keys authenticate requests to one sheet connection.
Create a Key
- Open a connected sheet.
- Go to API Keys.
- Click Create API Key.
- Save the full key immediately.
Full keys are shown once. Sheetfront only stores a hash.
Key Actions
| Action | Use when | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Create | A new app or automation needs access | New key is shown once |
| Rotate | A key may be exposed | Old key stops working |
| Revoke | Access is no longer needed | Requests return 401 |
| Rename | You need clearer tracking | Key value does not change |
Keep It Clean
- Use one key per app or automation.
- Store keys in environment variables.
- Set limits that match expected usage.
- Revoke unused keys.
