API Keys vs Topic Access Tokens

  • User API Keys (noti_...) - Work across all your topics
  • Topic Access Tokens (tk_...) - Scoped to one specific topic

👉 See API Keys Guide for detailed comparison.

Creating API Keys

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click "Create API Key"
  3. Enter key details:
  4. Name - Identifier (e.g., "Automation Script")
  5. Description (optional) - What this key is for
  6. Scopes - What key can access:
    • publish - Publish to topics
    • subscribe - Subscribe to topics
    • topics:read - View topics
    • topics:write - Create/delete topics
    • keys:read - View API keys
    • keys:write - Manage API keys
    • * - All permissions
  7. Expiration (optional) - Set expiry date
  8. Click "Create"

Using API Keys

In HTTP requests: 

curl -d "Message from automation" \
  -H "X-API-Key: noti_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv" \
  https://app.notifer.io/my-topic

In scripts: 

# Store in environment variable
export NOTIFER_API_KEY="noti_..."

# Use in automation
curl -d "Backup completed" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NOTIFER_API_KEY" \
  https://app.notifer.io/backups

Managing API Keys

View Key Usage: - Last used - When key was last used - Requests - Total API calls - Scopes - Permissions granted

Revoke Key: 1. Find key in list 2. Click "Revoke" or "Delete" 3. Confirm action

Revocation is Immediate

Revoked keys stop working immediately. All scripts using this key will fail.

Security Best Practices: - ✅ Create separate keys for each script/integration - ✅ Grant minimal scopes (only what's needed) - ✅ Rotate keys periodically - ✅ Store in environment variables or secret managers - ❌ Never commit keys to version control - ❌ Never share keys in plain text
