Create API Key

Create a new API key from the Userplane dashboard

Create an API key to start accessing the Userplane API programmatically. Each user can have up to 3 API keys.

1. Open the Developers tab

   Navigate to Account Settings and select the Developers tab.

   If you don’t have any keys yet, you’ll see the empty state:

   
2. Click Create API Key

   Click the + Create API Key button. You’ll be prompted to configure your key:

   • Name (optional) — A label to identify the key (e.g., “CI Pipeline”, “Production API”)
   • Expiration — Choose from: No expiration, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days
3. Copy your key

   After creation, the full API key is displayed. Copy it and store it securely.

   The full API key is only shown once. If you lose it, you’ll need to create a new key or rotate the existing one.

   Your new key will appear in the keys list:

   

Key limits

Limit	Value
Maximum keys per user	3
Maximum expiration	90 days

Expiration options

Option	Duration
No expiration	Key does not expire
7 days	604,800 seconds
30 days	2,592,000 seconds

90 days	7,776,000 seconds

Next steps

Once you have your key, authenticate API requests by including it as a Bearer token:

  -H "Authorization: Bearer uspl_your_api_key"
