Can I Regenerate My API Keys in Feedspace?

Overview

Your Feedspace API Key and Secret Key are created once, on the API tab, and they stay there. Both are always on that screen, shown as dots, with a copy button beside each one, so you can take either value again whenever you need it. There is no regenerate option for API keys, and you do not need one: the pair you generated is the pair you keep using.

This is what you want when you come back to a project months later. A developer wiring Feedspace into a new internal tool, or moving an existing script to a different server, can open the API tab, copy the same two values across, and the integration authenticates straight away with nothing else to update.

Where your API keys live

1. In the left sidebar, click Automation under the Workspace section.
2. Click the API tab at the top of the Automation page.
3. Your API Key and Secret Key are listed one above the other, each shown as a row of dots.

Copying a key

Click the copy icon beside the field you want, and the tooltip changes to Copied! for a couple of seconds to confirm. Clicking the field itself copies it too, so either works. The dots are only how the value is displayed, and the real key is what lands on your clipboard, so paste it straight into your code or your password manager.

Each field copies on its own, so taking the API Key does not disturb the Secret Key you copied a moment earlier. If you need both, copy one, paste it, then come back for the other.

If you think a key has been shared by mistake

Because the pair cannot be rotated from the dashboard, email support@feedspace.io if your keys have been committed to a public repository, pasted into a chat, or otherwise seen by someone who should not have them. Tell the team which workspace is affected and they can take it from there.

Common questions

Why does the Automation Secret Key have a Regenerate button when my API keys do not?

They are two different credentials on two different tabs. The Automation Secret Key on the Automation tab connects tools like Pabbly Connect, Make and Zapier, and it can be rotated from that screen. The API Key and Secret Key on the API tab authenticate your own code against the Feedspace API, and they stay as they are.

The key is hidden behind dots, so how do I read the actual value?

You copy it rather than read it. The dots are just how Feedspace displays a stored key on screen, and the copy button hands your clipboard the real value. Paste it wherever you need it and you will see the full key there.
