API keys are unique 30 character passwords required for accessing e-Builder data from the API Consumer. Keys are specific to the assigned user and only one key can be generated per person. API keys can be created for yourself or other team members. Typically, the API will be used by personnel responsible for generating reports or IT professionals. This task supports the initial creation of an API key and generating a new key if the previous key was lost.
