API keys are unique authentication tokens that enable secure access to API services. These credentials verify user identity and authorization level when making API requests.
Note: This feature is only available to users with the VORTEX xPro License (Licensed ) and is not supported for users of the Free Cloud-Managed Service (Unlicensed).
API Key Life Cycle
The API key follows a progression:
- Creation - Generation of a secure token through the Portal
- Implementation - Use the API key to obtain API access permissions
- Expiration - Termination of key validity at the predefined endpoint
Note: Once a key expires, it is automatically deactivated.
