Oviond API keys let you authenticate requests to the Oviond REST API from external tools, scripts, or integrations. Each key is tied to your account and operates within your permission level.

​
Create an API key

1

Open API Keys settings

Click your account name in the top-right corner, select Settings, and go to the API Keys tab.
2

Click Create API Key

Click Create API Key and enter a descriptive name — for example, “Zapier workflow” or “Internal dashboard script”.
3

Copy your key

Your new API key is displayed once. Copy it and store it somewhere secure.
You cannot view the full key again after closing this dialog. If you lose it, revoke the key and create a new one.

​
Use your API key

Include the key in the Authorization header on every API request: 
curl https://api.oviond.com/v1/users/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
See Authentication for more details on how to authenticate API requests.

​
Manage existing keys

From Settings → API Keys you can:
  • View all active keys (name and creation date — the full key value is never shown again)
  • Revoke a key — immediately invalidates it, any requests using it will receive 401 Unauthorized
  • Delete a key — permanently removes it from your account
Revoking a key is immediate. Update any integrations or scripts using that key before revoking to avoid downtime.

​
Security best practices

  • Give each key a descriptive name so you can identify and revoke individual integrations
  • Never commit API keys to version control
  • Rotate keys periodically or immediately if you suspect a key has been exposed
  • Use one key per integration so you can revoke a single key without affecting others
