API Keys
Key Types
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Production | Live environment with real transactions |
| Sandbox | Test environment for development and QA |
| Read-Only | Keys that can only query data (no write operations) |
| Full Access | Keys with write permissions (create transactions, manage users) |
Key Management
- Navigate to API Management > API Keys in the CRYMBO Platform
- Click Create API Key
- Select key type and permissions
- Key is generated — store the secret securely (it is only shown once)
- Use the key in your API requests via the
Authorizationheader
Best Practices
- Rotate keys every 90 days
- Use separate keys for sandbox and production
- Apply least-privilege: only grant the permissions each key needs
- Monitor key usage via the Usage Monitoring dashboard
- Revoke unused keys promptly
