# API Keys

> Generate and manage API keys for Monitor360 integrations

## Overview

The **API Keys** section allows the admin to generate and manage API keys for use with Monitor360's API.

## Creating a New API Key

1. Go to **Administration → Connections → API Keys**
2. Click **+ New API Key**
3. Enter a descriptive name for the key
4. Click **Create**
5. **Copy the API key immediately** - it is shown only once and cannot be retrieved later

<Warning>
  The API key is visible only one time after creation. Copy it and store it
  securely. If you lose it, you will need to regenerate it.
</Warning>

## Managing Existing API Keys

| Action | Description |
| - | - |
| **Edit** | Update the name of an existing API key |
| **Regenerate** | Create a new key value for an existing record (the old key will stop working) |
| **Delete** | Remove an API key that is no longer required |

The list shows each key's owner, a masked version of the key, when it was last used, and when it was created.

## API documentation

Open **API Docs** from the [profile menu](/profile-menu) to browse the available endpoints and connect AI tools through the [MCP Server](/mcp-server).

## Viewing Request Logs

Every request made using an API key is logged. Go to **Administration → Logs → API Request Logs** to see the full history.

* **Filter** by API Key, User, Status, and Requested At
* Each entry shows the **User**, **API Key**, **IP**, **Endpoint**, **Status**, **Duration**, and **Requested At**
* Click **View** under **Request Payload** to inspect the payload sent with a request
