API keys authenticate all requests to the Adapter API. You create and manage them from the console.

​
Creating an API Key

1

Open the Console

Log in at app.adapter.com and go to Settings → API Keys.
2

Create a New Key

Click Create API Key. Give it a name, or leave it blank to auto-generate one.
3

Copy and Store It

Copy your key immediately — it won’t be shown again. Store it as an environment variable:
export ADAPTER_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

​
Using Your API Key

Pass your key in the Authorization header: 
curl https://api.adapter.com/v1/connections \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAPTER_API_KEY"

​
Revoking a Key

Go to Settings → API Keys in the console, find the key, and click Revoke. The key is invalidated immediately. If you suspect a key has been compromised, revoke it and create a new one.
