Creating an API Key

The Kolide REST API uses token-based authentication. Kolide administrators can obtain a token by creating an API Key entry. To create a key, follow these steps:

1. Click your user avatar in the upper-right corner of the Kolide UI.

2. In the dropdown menu, click Settings.

3. In the menu on the left, click Developers.

4. In the sub-menu that appears, click API Keys.

5. On the next screen, click Create New Key.

6. In the modal that appears, provide a name for the Key and the name of a Kolide administrator who will be responsible for the API Key’s usage. Both of these values will appear in both the Audit Log and the Privacy Center.
