Use Rekaz Search to open Api Keys, then create a separate key for the integration you are connecting.

  

The Base64 value is shown only in the creation dialog. Treat both the Base64 value and Tenant ID as credentials and never place them in public screenshots, documents, conversations, or source code.

  

# Steps

1.  From any Rekaz page, select Search to find Api Keys.
    
    _The Rekaz search dialog opens._
    
2.  Enter Api Keys, then select Api Keys under Pages.
    
    _The Api Keys page opens._
    
3.  On the Api Keys page, select Create API key.
    
    _The Create API key dialog opens._
    
4.  In Key name, enter a clear purpose-based name for the integration.
    
    _The key name is entered and the create action becomes available._
    
5.  Review the name, then select Create API key in the dialog.
    
    _The API key created dialog displays the one-time Base64 value and Tenant ID._
    
6.  Select Copy Base64 and store the value immediately in an approved secrets manager.
    
    _The Base64 credential is copied without exposing it in the guide._
    
7.  Select Copy Tenant ID and store it with the integration configuration.
    
    _The Tenant ID is copied without exposing it in the guide._
    
8.  Only after securely storing both values, select Done, I've copied Base64.
    
    _The credential dialog closes and the new key appears in the Api Keys list._

# Keep your API Key secure

  

Treat the API Key and its Base64 value as sensitive credentials.

  

-   Do not send the key in a conversation.
    
-   Do not add the key to publicly available code.
    
-   Use a descriptive name that identifies the application and purpose.
    
-   Store the copied value in a secrets manager.
