API Keys

API keys authenticate your SDK when sending telemetry to Upblit. Each key is scoped to a single application.

Generating a Key

1. Go to your application’s page
2. Click Generate API Key
3. Copy the key from the modal — it is shown only once

Security Rules

• Never commit API keys to source control — use environment variables
• Keys are scoped to one application — they cannot be reused across applications
• The dashboard never stores or re-displays a key after the modal is closed
• If a key is compromised, generate a new one (the old key remains valid until revocation is implemented)

Using a Key in Your SDK

// Express
const upblit = require('upblit-express')
app.use(upblit(process.env.UPBLIT_API_KEY))

// Go
sdk := upblit.New(os.Getenv("UPBLIT_API_KEY"))

# Python
import upblit, os
upblit.init(os.environ["UPBLIT_API_KEY"])

Key Format

API keys are generated by the backend and are unique per application. Store them in your deployment environment’s secret management system (e.g., environment variables, AWS Secrets Manager, Vault).
