Use a Yada API key to query the Yada API or connect a form, website, Zapier workflow, or other tool that collects guest contact info.

Watch the walkthrough, or follow the steps below.

Create an API key

  1. Open Settings in the left navigation, then select API keys.

  2. Enter a name that describes where the key will be used, such as a website or webhook.

  3. Select Create key.

Copy the key

The full key is shown only once. Copy it immediately and store it in a trusted server or secret store. Anyone with the key can post contacts to your workspace.

Copy your API key dialog after creating a key

Send the key as Authorization: Bearer or as X-Api-Key.

Review and revoke keys

Active keys show the name, a truncated key ID, and the created time. Select Revoke when a key is no longer needed. A revoked key stops working immediately.

Never put an API key in browser JavaScript. If a key is exposed, revoke it and create a new one.

To send contacts into Yada after you have a key, see Configure Inbound Lead Webhooks.
