# API Keys

> Create API keys to pull visibility data into your dashboards (Custom plan).

## Who Can Use API Keys

API keys are available on the **Custom** plan. If you don’t see the API Keys page, your plan doesn’t include it.

## What API Keys Do

API keys let you authenticate with the **Customer API** to:

* Pull visibility reports into your own dashboards
* Automate weekly or monthly reports
* Integrate with BI tools, spreadsheets, or internal systems

The Customer API uses the `X-API-Key` header — not your dashboard login.

## How to Create an API Key

1. Go to **API Keys** in the sidebar
2. Click **Create API key**
3. Enter a **name** (e.g., "Weekly Report Script" or "Staging Integration")
4. Click **Create**
5. **Copy the key** immediately — it’s shown only once

<Warning>
  **Store your API key securely.** Never commit it to code or share it publicly. Use environment variables (e.g., `GEOARK_API_KEY`) in your scripts.
</Warning>

## Managing API Keys

* **View keys** — You’ll see key names, prefixes (e.g., `mom_...`), and last used date
* **Revoke** — If a key is compromised or no longer needed, click **Revoke**. Applications using it will stop working
* **Multiple keys** — Create separate keys for different environments (e.g., prod, staging) or use cases

## Using the Key

In your requests, add the header:

```
X-API-Key: <your_api_key>
```

See the [Customer API](/docs/api-reference/introduction) tab for endpoints and examples.
