Force24 has an open API that your developers can use to build whatever connections you need. This article shows you how to find your API key and secret, and how to generate a new pair. Further documentation on our API functionality is available on our API reference page: Swagger UI.

Master user only

For security, your API key and secret are only visible to the master user of your account.

How do I find my API key and secret?

Once you're logged in to your account as the master user:

  1. Click the cog icon in the top right corner.
  2. Select Applications.

    The Applications option in the cog icon menu

  3. The page that opens shows your API key, with your secret hidden. To see or copy the secret, click the hidden text and choose Reveal or Copy.

Keep your secret safe

Your API secret works like a password. Only share it with people or systems that need it, and don't paste it into emails, support chats or public documents.

How do I generate a new API key and secret?

Open the Applications page as described above, then:

  1. Click New application.

    The New application button on the Applications page

  2. Give the application a name, and set the Force24 API Master Role to Yes so that it has enough access to function fully.

  3. Save it. Force24 will generate a new API key and secret.
