API Keys

The API Keys section lets you securely manage your API access, enabling you to generate, edit, and control up to 5 API keys.


API Keys page for managing, generating, and editing API keys securely

Key Features​

  • Manage Multiple Keys: Generate and manage up to 5 API keys.
  • Assign Descriptive Names: Assign meaningful names to your API keys to easily distinguish their purposes, such as testing or production environments.
  • Manage Key Status:
    • Active: Keys currently in use and functional. Newly generated keys are active by default.
    • Blocked: Keys that have been disabled for security or organizational reasons.
  • Edit Keys: Quickly edit key details.

How to Use​

1️⃣ Generate New Keys: Click the New API Key button to create a new key (if fewer than 5 keys exist), or use the one automatically generated upon registration.

Security Notes
  • Keep your API keys secure – avoid sharing them publicly or exposing them in client-side code.
  • Blocking is permanent – once an API key is blocked, it cannot be unblocked through the dashboard. Create a new key or contact support to restore access.

Webhook Signature​

Below the API keys table you'll find the Webhook Signature section. This secret is used to sign every webhook request from the /async endpoint, so you can verify the callback genuinely came from PDFBolt.

  • Click the eye icon to show or hide the secret.
  • Click the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.
