In Kount 360, after you have been invited to an organization and your client is initialized, you can generate API keys to securely send data to Kount. You must have an initialized client before you can create an API key.
Note
Only users with the Owner role permissions can generate, delete, or edit API keys.
-
Sign in to Kount 360. There are two integration environments: sandbox and production. Only integrate into our sandbox environment if you are integrating a pre-production environment without production data.
-
Select Admin, then Product Configuration.
-
In System Settings, select API Keys.
All initialized clients display.
-
For the client you want to create an API key for, select Generate API Key.
The new API key is generated. A prompt displays with the ability to copy the API key and add a description.
-
Copy the API key and store it in a secure location.
Note
The API key is not provided again. You must store it in a secure location for future reference. If the API key is compromised or lost, create a new API key and delete the the compromised one.
-
Enter a description, then select Confirm.
API keys are organized under each client on the API Keys page. Expand the client to view your API keys, the descriptions, and when they were created.
After an API key is created, you have the option to edit the description. An API description should explain how the API key is used. For example, if you have multiple API keys for one client ID, you can describe which API key is associated with certain integrations.
Note
Legacy API keys do not have descriptions to edit.
