This article will teach you how to create a Platform API key, store the secret securely, and rotate keys when needed.

API Keys grant partners access to the Tire Base Platform API for your tenant (docs live on docs.tirebase.io). Keys should use the least privilege required for the integration so a leaked credential cannot reach unrelated modules.

Steps

• Open Settings → API Keys (admin).
• Create a new key with only the scopes the partner needs.
• Copy the secret immediately and store it in your password manager — it is shown once.
• Deliver the key to the partner through a secure channel (never in a public ticket or chat screenshot).
• If a key is compromised or a partner leaves, revoke/rotate it and issue a replacement.

Conclusion & best practices

One key per partner or integration makes revocation easy. Never reuse a single “master” key across multiple vendors, and audit keys periodically from the API Keys settings screen.
