Generating API Keys

Introduction

To use the Tylt API, you must generate a pair of credentials: an API Key and a Secret Key. API credentials are issued per service. Each enabled service has its own unique set of API keys and must be generated separately.


Generating API Keys

  1. Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your Tylt Dashboard

  2. Select the relevant service

  3. Click Generate Key

A new set of credentials will then be issued for that service:

  • API Key: Used in the Authorization header of API requests to identify your account and service.

  • Secret Key: Used to generate HMAC-SHA256 signatures for request authentication and webhook verification. This key must be kept confidential and must never be exposed in client-side code.


Important Notes

  • Each service has its own separate API Key and Secret Key

  • API keys are environment-specific (Demo and Production)

  • Generating a new key for a service may invalidate the previously issued key for that service

  • Secret keys are only visible at the time of creation


Storing Your API Keys

Immediately after generating your API credentials, ensure they are stored securely.

  • API and Secret Keys cannot be retrieved after generation

  • If lost or compromised, new keys must be regenerated

  • Do not store keys in source code or expose them in frontend applications
