Generate API keys
Find and generate API keys from your Blueshift account.
Blueshift uses API keys to authenticate requests from your site or app. This page covers where to find your keys. For full authentication details, see Authorization.
Available keys
Sign in to the Blueshift app, go to Account Settings, and open the API keys tab. The keys you can generate depend on your role:
| Key | Use it for | Who can generate it |
|---|---|---|
Event API key (EVENT_API_KEY) | Sending events and supported live-content endpoints | Any user role |
User API key (USER_API_KEY) | Customer profiles, catalogs, campaigns, reports, and other read/write endpoints | Admin users only |
| S3 folder access key | File-based imports via S3 | Admin users only |
Treat API keys like passwordsDon't commit them to source control, embed them in client-side code, or share them outside trusted systems. Rotate keys periodically and revoke compromised keys immediately.
For details on how to authenticate API requests using these keys, see Authorization.
