Your API key is the password a piece of software uses to talk to Liftify on your account’s behalf. You need it if you or a developer are pulling Liftify data into another system, or pushing data in. If nobody is writing code against Liftify, you can ignore this page entirely.

​
Find the key

  1. Click Settings in the left sidebar.
  2. Click API Key in the settings menu.
The page is headed API Access and explains: “Use this API key to authenticate API requests for this account.” The key is hidden by default — you see only the first and last few characters. Use the buttons beside it:
  • Show reveals the full key. It turns into Hide once revealed.
  • Copy puts the key on your clipboard without revealing it on screen.
Below that, the page shows the line a developer needs to send with every request, starting Authorization: Bearer. Its own Copy button copies that whole line, ready to paste.
Anyone holding this key can read and change your account’s data through the API. Treat it like a password: never paste it into a chat message, a shared document, or an email. Hand it to a developer through whatever secure method you would use for a password.
The key hides itself again as soon as you navigate away, so it is not left sitting on screen.

​
Check whether API access is on

Beside API Access Status you will see one of two labels:
  • Enabled — the API is switched on for this account and the key will work.
  • Not Enabled — requests will not go through, even with the right key.
You cannot switch this on or off yourself. The page says it plainly: to enable or disable API access for your account, contact support@liftify.com. Ask before your developer starts work, so they are not debugging a connection that was never turned on.
Support also handles anything else key-related — if you believe the key has leaked, email them.

​
What to do with it

Give the key and the Authorization: Bearer line to whoever is building the connection. Everything else they need — the addresses to call and the data they return — is in the API documentation, reachable from the button at the bottom of the page: View API documentation, at docs.liftify.com.
The API Key entry appears in settings only for users whose permissions cover it. If you do not see it, ask an administrator on your account, or contact support.
