Getting your API Key
To retrieve your API key, head over to the Settings page on your Jetpay dashboard.
Then, select the Integrations tab from the side menu to manage your keys.
On this page, you will be presented with a list of active tokens on your account, or an empty table if you haven't created any yet.
The name is assigned when you create the token. The scope determines what each particular token is allowed to do.
In this example,
- the token for "mywebsite.com" is allowed to create regular transactions only,
- whereas the token for "mywebsite.com" is allowed to create regular transactions and scheduled transactions.
As our API offering expands, this will allow you to give access to only some parts of your data to one server while allowing for more access to another.
To create a new token, click on the Create Token button on the top right. This opens a dialog.
- Select the desired scope for your token, which determines what the token will be allowed to do.
- Assign a name that will help you identify your token later on.
- Click Create API Token.
This opens another dialog that shows you the token value. Copy the token and save it securely into your application.
Be careful not to close this modal until you have saved the token value, as it will only be shown once. If you lose the token value, you will have to create a new one.
