API keys let external scripts and integrations call the Oviond REST API on behalf of your account. You choose a permission level for each key when you create it, so a key can be scoped more tightly than your own account.
API keys authenticate the REST API only. The MCP server uses its own OAuth 2.1 flow with per-client tokens — it does not accept these API keys. See MCP authentication.
API and MCP access is included with the agency plan. If your plan doesn’t include API access, the create panel prompts you to upgrade in Settings → Billing.

​
Create a key

1

Open API keys

Go to Settings → API keys.
2

Click Create key

Click Create key to open the create panel.
3

Name the key

Enter a descriptive name — for example, Reporting automation — so you can identify what depends on it later.
4

Choose a permission

Pick the access level for the key:
5

Create and copy the key

Oviond shows the key once. Copy it immediately and store it somewhere safe — the key is hashed after this panel and can’t be retrieved again. The panel also offers ready-made snippets for AI connectors that include the key.

​
Use your key

Send the key as a Bearer token on every request:
Every key starts with the oviond_ prefix. See Authentication for more on authenticating API requests.
The full key is only visible at creation. If you lose it, revoke the key and create a new one.
