# Settings (Developers)

# Overview

The **Developers** section provides API credentials required for integrating the application with external systems, custom applications, or third-party services. It allows administrators and developers to securely access the application's APIs using generated authentication credentials.

Navigate to **Settings → Developers** to manage API credentials.

# API Credentials

The **API Credentials** section contains the authentication details required for API access.

The following credentials are available:

| Field | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **API Key** | A unique key used to identify and authenticate API requests. |
| **API Token** | A secure authentication token used to authorize API access. |

These credentials are required when connecting external applications or services with the platform.

# Generate API Token

Click **Generate API Token** to create a new API token.

A newly generated token can be used for secure API authentication. If an existing token is regenerated, the previous token may no longer be valid.

---

# Manage API Credentials

Administrators can:

- View the existing API Key.
- Generate a new API Token.
- Use API credentials for application integrations.
- Authenticate API requests securely.

---

# Best Practices

- Keep API credentials confidential.
- Do not share API Keys or API Tokens publicly.
- Regenerate the API Token if it is compromised.
- Use API credentials only in trusted applications and integrations.

> **Important:**  
> The **API Key** and **API Token** are used to authenticate API requests. After generating a new API Token, ensure that all integrated applications are updated with the latest credentials.
