Generation of the API Key and Secret
The process for generation of the API Key is as follows:
- To create a new key, Navigate to the API Dashboard. Click Create A New One, and you will be redirected to the Create an API Key window.
- Enter a name for your API key and check the Bind IP Address to the API Key option, if required. Click SEND OTP. A One Time Password (OTP) will be shared on your registered Email ID and Mobile number.

Checking the Binding IP address to the API Key option will bind the API key to the IP of the device from which the key is generated. This Key cannot be shared with any other user with a different IP.
- Enter the received OTP on the next screen in the respective boxes. Click CREATE. An API Key will be generated.
- Store the API Key and Secret on the following screens properly.
caution
The Secret key is forever hidden after you refresh the screen. Make sure to store it properly.
