Why This Matters

API access lets your team connect SubcontractorHub data to other systems automatically. Setting this up correctly keeps your integrations secure and reliable.

With public token regeneration available in Organization Settings, users can create, copy, and revoke API keys whenever needed without depending on backend support. Organizations can create up to 5 API keys, giving teams more flexibility to manage integrations, improve security, and control API access more efficiently. However, the setting to add API keys needs to be enabled by the customer experience manager. Follow the steps below to create an API key.

What You'll Need

Admin access to SubcontractorHub
A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Click "Organization" on the main menu.

Step 3

Step 5
