API Keys

AI Defense uses API keys to authenticate and secure communication between your applications and its services. You must generate all API keys in the AI Defense UI.

Generate an API Key for the Management API

To use the AI Defense Management API, you must generate an API key through the AI Defense Dashboard. Follow these steps:

  1. In AI Defense, click Administration.

  2. In the Administration page, click API Keys and click Create an API key.

  3. Specify a Name for the key

  4. Specify its Expire on date or set it to Never Expire.

  5. Click Create.

  6. Copy this key and save it to a secure location. You will not be able to see the token again after you close this page. You will use this token to make requests of the AI Defense Management API endpoint. (Note that this key cannot be used for the AI Defense Inspection API. For help creating Inspection API keys see Set up Runtime for the Inspection API.)
