Geneious Prime allows organization administrators  to create API keys that can then be used to set up automations that interact with our Public REST API. Keys can be created by any existing users, or you may like to create a dedicated user to act as a service account, allowing you to clearly manage the data access permissions (but be aware that this will count towards your seat limit).

Creating an API Key

API keys can be created and managed using the Cloud settings tab:

If you cannot see the API Keys section in this location you may not be an administrator in your organization, or your organization may not have access to the API keys feature. Please ask your IT team or contact us.

To create a new API key, simply click Create as indicated below.

Specifying the name simply helps you manage your keys, you might like to include a date or purpose.

Your full API key will only be available to view once, so please save this in a safe place, such as a suitable Password Management tool.

Viewing and Managing your API Keys

If you have created any API keys, they can be seen in the Cloud Settings tab as above. You can see the last time that each key was used and when it was created.

If you would like to remove an API key, select the key and click "Revoke". The API key will be deactivated and removed immediately. It will not show up in your API Key table anymore.

Geneious Cloud Web Workspace Administration

Geneious Cloud Web Workspace Administration allows organization administrators to manage users, groups and other settings for your workspace, including API keys. It will also allows administrators to view all existing API Keys across an organization and to manage those keys regardless of who created them.
