Generate API keys ↑ Back to top
The WooCommerce REST API works on a key system to control access. These keys are linked to WordPress users on your website.
- Developers register apps on Edge to access API products. In response, the developer receives an API key. Now that the developer has an API key, they can make requests to your APIs. For more, see Introduction to publishing. The following table defines some of the terms used to register apps and generate keys.
- The nice thing is that they provide many tools to handle security issues, e.g.: to generate API keys, to salt and encrypt, etc. Take a look on their tutorials, they are in general very good. There are other frameworks, namely Java EE has support for security and also Spring provides support for security.
- Enabling data access to the API. Generate or retrieve the API key - Log in to the Enterprise portal, and navigate to Reports Download Usage API Access Key to generate or retrieve the API key. Passing keys in the API - The API key needs to be passed for each call for Authentication and Authorization. The following property needs to be to the.
- Aug 19, 2019 Generate Keys. To start using REST API, you first need to generate API keys. Go to WooCommerce Settings Advanced; Go to the REST API tab and click Add key. Give the key a description for your own reference, choose a user with access to orders etc, and give the key read/write permissions. Click Generate api key.
To create or manage keys for a specific WordPress user:

- Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API.
Note: Keys/Apps was found at WooCommerce > Settings > API > Key/Apps prior to WooCommerce 3.4. - Select Add Key. You are taken to the Key Details screen.
- Add a Description.
- Select the User you would like to generate a key for in the dropdown.
- Select a level of access for this API key — Read access, Write access or Read/Write access.
- Select Generate API Key, and WooCommerce creates API keys for that user.
You can create API keys by performing the following steps: From the Octopus Deploy web portal, sign in, and view your profile. Go to the API keys tab. This lists any previous API keys that you have created. Click on New API key, and give the API key a name that you can use to remember.
Now that keys have been generated, you should see Consumer Key and Consumer Secret keys, a QRCode, and a Revoke API Key button.
The Consumer Key and Consumer Secret may be entered in the application using the WooCommerce API, and the app should also request your URL.

-->Applies to: Microsoft Cloud App Security
The Microsoft Cloud App Security API provides programmatic access to Cloud App Security through REST API endpoints. Applications can use the API to perform read and update operations on Cloud App Security data and objects. For example, the Cloud App Security API supports the following common operations for a user object:
- Upload log files for Cloud Discovery
- Generate block scripts
- List activities, alerts, and policy reports
- Dismiss or resolve alerts
To see the full documentation of the API, in the Cloud App Security portal go to Help > API documentation.
In order to access the API, you have to create an API token and use it in your software to connect to the Cloud App Security API.
The API tokens tab enables you to help you manage all the API tokens of your tenant.
Generate a token
Generate Api Key For Rest Api System
- On the Settings menu, select Security extensions and then API tokens.
- Click the plus icon, Generate new token and provide a name to identify the token in the future, and click Next.
- Copy the token value and save it somewhere for recovery - if you lose it you need to regenerate the token. The token has the privileges of the user who issued it. For example, a security reader can't issue a token that can alter data.
- You can filter the tokens by status: Active, Inactive, or Generated.
- Generated are tokens that have never been used.
- Active are tokens that were generated and were used within the past seven days.
- Inactive were used but there was no activity in the last seven days.
- After you generate a new token, you'll be provided with a new URL to use to access the Cloud App Security portal.The generic portal URL continues to work but is considerably slower than the custom URL provided with your token. If you forget the URL at any time, you can view it by going to the ? icon in the menu and selecting About.
Note
If you are using Azure Active Directory Privileged Identity Management role activation, your API token will only be effective once the role is activated. For more information, see Activate my Azure AD roles in PIM.
API token management
The API token page includes a table of all the API tokens that were generated.
Full admins see all tokens generated for this tenant. Other users only see the tokens that they generated themselves.
The table provides details about when the token was generated and when it was last used and allows you to revoke the token.
![Generate Generate](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126135838/504267425.jpg)
After a token is revoked, it's removed from the table, and the software that was using it fails to make API calls until a new token is provided.
Note
- SIEM connectors and log collectors also use API tokens. These tokens should be managed from the log collectors and SIEM agent sections and do not appear in this table.
- Deprovisioned users API tokens are retained in Cloud App Security but cannot be used. Any attempt to use them will result in a permission denied response. However, we recommend that such tokens are revoked on the API tokens page.
