API Keys (in your account settings) give your own systems programmatic access to LocalOptics data - rankings into your BI stack, insights into your client portal, whatever you build.
Working with tokens
Click Generate New Token and a new key appears in the table instantly, ready to copy. Each token can be switched on and off with its Activate toggle - flip it off to revoke access without deleting the token, flip it back on to restore it. Keep separate tokens per integration so you can disable one consumer without breaking the others.
Authenticate by sending the token as a bearer token in the Authorization header. Full endpoint reference lives in the API Documentation linked at the top of the page.
