API Keys Data Center

The Babel Licensing Service provides an API key management system that allows users to securely generate, manage, and control API keys for accessing the Babel Licensing Service Web API Interface. API keys serve as authentication tokens that grant applications and services controlled access to licensing resources.

Listing API Keys

To begin, navigate to the API Keys section by clicking on the corresponding icon in the left-hand navigation bar. This sidebar provides access to various administrative features, including API Keys.

The API Keys section provides an overview of all existing API keys, displaying key details such as:

  • API Key Name – A user-friendly identifier for the key.
  • Key – The generated key used for API authentication.
  • Creation Date – When the key was generated.
  • Expiration Date – When the key will automatically expire.
  • Owner User – The user associated with the API key.
  • Revoked Status – Indicates whether the key has been disabled.
  • Permissions – Defines the access level (Read, Write, Delete, Create).
