Service Accounts

Service Accounts play a crucial role in managing access to your account, data, and index settings. They provide the necessary permissions at the code level for tasks such as sending or updating data and conducting searches using the API.

Search-only API key

For search functionalities, a search-only API key is available, exclusively applicable to a specific application. This key enables you to search data within the designated application indices on the platform. It is secure for integration into your production frontend code.

Index-only API key

An Index-only API key that allows operations such as adding, updating, or deleting records within a specific index. This key is designed for use with a particular user, index, or a set of indices, ensuring controlled access to index-related functionalities in production without compromising broader account or data settings.

Create and manage your API keys

Efficiently create, view, and manage your primary API keys through the console. This centralized platform allows you to oversee and control the access levels of your keys for optimal security and functionality.

1. Create a new API Key

Search User: Allowed to perform search operations. Can be used with search API.

Indexing User: Allowed to add, update or delete records in the index. Can be used with Indexer and Analytics API.

Upon the creation of a service account, a detailed account summary in JSON format becomes available for download. This JSON file serves as a key resource for accessing various APIs, enabling secure and structured utilization of the associated functionalities.

2. Revoke an API Key

   Revoking an API key makes it unusable.
   In the event of an API key being compromised or misused, swift action is imperative. It is crucial to promptly revoke the compromised key to mitigate potential security risks. Additionally, updating your applications to integrate a new API key promptly is essential to ensure uninterrupted functionality and prevent any disruptions in service.
