# API keys
|
|
|
|
An **API key** is how a bot identifies itself to Zulip. Anyone with a
|
|
bot's API key can impersonate the bot, so be careful with it!
|
|
|
|
## Get a bot's API key
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|your-bots}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Active bots**.
|
|
|
|
1. Find your bot. The bot's API key is under **API KEY**.
|
|
|
|
## Get your API key
|
|
|
|
Anyone with your API key can impersonate you, so be doubly careful with it.
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|account-and-privacy}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **API key**, click **Show/change your API key**.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter your password, and click **Get API key**. If you never had a
|
|
password, click **Never had one? Forgotten it?** and follow the
|
|
instructions from there.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy your API key.
|
|
|
|
## Invalidate an API key
|
|
|
|
To invalidate a key, follow the instructions above, and click
|
|
**Generate new API key** or click the **refresh**
|
|
(<i class="fa fa-refresh"></i>) icon as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
This will generate a new key for you or the bot, and invalidate the old one.
