Prerequisites
You must be a Global Admin in Kadence
API access must be enabled (you’ll see Settings → API Keys if available)
Create an API Key
Login to Kadence
Go to Settings
Select API Keys
Click Add API Key
Enter a name and description (e.g., "Slack integration - read-only")
Click Create API Key
You'll be redirected to the API Key Details page, where you can view:
API key identifier
Client secret (used for authentication)
Use a meaningful name/description to help manage usage and permissions later.
Edit an API Key
Go to Settings → API Keys
Click the key you want to edit from the list
On the API Key Details page, update the name and/or description
Click Update API Key
Only Global Admins can make changes to API key metadata.
Regenerate an API Key Secret
You can regenerate the client secret for an existing API key if needed (e.g., compromised credentials).
This action is irreversible. You must update all systems using the old secret immediately.
To regenerate:
Navigate to Settings → API Keys
Select the key from the list
Click Regenerate
Confirm the action in the popup modal
After regenerating:
A success message will appear
The new secret will be shown in the details view
Delete an API Key
Only delete API keys that are no longer in use.
Go to Settings → API Keys
Click on the key you want to delete
In the top-right corner, click the kebab menu (three dots)
Select Delete API Key
You’ll be redirected back to the API Keys list after successful deletion
Deleting a key immediately disables all integrations using that key.
API Key Security Best Practices
API keys grant full access to your Kadence environment, so treat them like sensitive credentials.
Use meaningful names and descriptions for traceability
Store keys securely, using tools like password managers
Never check keys into public code repositories
Rotate keys regularly and revoke unused ones
Use separate keys per integration for safer revocation
Kadence API keys use OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant
Do not use them in public/front-end/mobile apps
