How to create and manage API keys in starti.app Manager to send push notifications programmatically
Create and manage API keys
Go to the feature in starti.app ManagerWhat are API keys?
API keys allow you to send push notifications programmatically — for example from your own system, a webshop, or an automation tool — without having to manually log in to starti.app Manager.
Each API key is linked to your brand and has permission to send push notifications via starti.app's API.
An API key is only shown once, when it is created. Make sure to save it somewhere safe immediately — you cannot retrieve it again afterwards.
Create a new API key
Log in
Open starti.app Manager and log in with Microsoft, Google, or Apple.
Open API keys
Go to API keys in the left-hand menu bar.
Start creating
Click Create new key in the top right of the page.
Give the key a name
Enter a descriptive name for the key in the Name field — e.g. "Webshop integration" or "Newsletter automation". The name helps you keep track of which systems are using which key.
Save the key safely
Click Create key. Your new API key is now shown in a box on the screen.
Click the copy icon and save the key somewhere safe — for example in your password manager or as an environment variable in your system. Then click I have saved the key to close the dialog.
The key is only shown this one time. If you haven't saved it, you'll need to delete the key and create a new one.
Manage your API keys
Under Active API keys, you can see an overview of all keys created for your brand. For each key, the following is shown:
- Name — the name you gave the key when creating it
- Permissions — what the key has access to (currently
PushNotifications/Send) - Created — when the key was created
- Created by — which user created the key
- Last used — when the key was last used to call the API
- Usage — how many times the key has been used
Delete an API key
Click the trash icon next to the key you want to delete, and confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears.
Deleting an API key cannot be undone. All systems using the key will immediately lose access and stop working. Make sure to update your systems before deleting a key.
Create separate keys for each of your systems or integrations. That way, you can easily revoke access for one system without affecting the others.
