Create an API key

An API key authenticates your requests to the Limy REST API. You can generate, view, and revoke keys from the Limy Admin Dashboard

Only account admins can generate or revoke API keys.

Generate a key

1

Open the API Keys Page

Go to Admin Dashboard and open the API entry

2

Click Generate API key

You'll find the button in the top-right of the page (and inside the empty state if you have no keys yet).

3

Copy the key — it is only shown once

After generation, Limy displays the full secret key.

Click Copy key to copy it to your clipboard, then store it somewhere safe

Limits

Every API key is bound to a usage plan that controls how often you can call the Limy API. The plan is assigned by Limy when the key is created and enforces two limits:

Limit	What it caps	Behavior when exceeded
Rate	Sustained requests per second + a short burst above that	429 Too Many Requests
Quota	Total requests per day, week, or month	429 Too Many Requests

Revoke a key

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, open Account settings → API, find the key in the list, and click the trash icon. Revocation is immediate — any request using a revoked key will be rejected.

Revoked keys cannot be restored. Issue a new key if access is still needed.
