Generating Secret Keys

After taking note of your Tenant ID and Bridge Client ID, you need to generate secret keys for API access. API keys come in two variants. You will need the Bridge Key later when running the Resolve Actions Express Hybrid Installer. You will need the Events key in case you want to use webhooks.

Each key is issued separately. Repeat the following procedure for each type of key. You can only generate a single Bridge key. You can generate as many Events keys as you like.

Take these steps to generate a secret key:

1. From the top navigation bar, open the hamburger menu and click Configuration > API Access.
2. In the Secret Keys section, click the plus sign.
   The Secret Keys – New secret Key sidebar appears.
3. In Name, enter a name that will help you identify the key.
   Example: Austin Hybrid Bridge
4. From Type, select the key type to generate:
   • Select Bridge to generate an API access key to use with the Actions Express Hybrid Installer.
   • Select Event to generate an API access key to use with web hooks.
5. (Optional) In IP Range, limit the key access to specific IP addresses for additional security:
   1. Enter an IP address range, network, or single IP and then click the check sign to create a new line.
      Examples:
      192.0.2.10 to only allow a single address
      192.0.2.0/24 to allow an entire network
      192.0.2.10 to 192.0.2.20 to allow a range of IP addresses
   2. Keep adding lines until you add all the IPs that you want.
6. Click Save.
7. From the Generate Secret Key dialog box that appears, take note of the Value field.
   caution

   The value is only presented once. If you fail to copy the value, you will have to regenerate the key.
