API Keys
To make setup with Zapier, and other connections via API Key, easier down the line we've added the ability to generate and store Levitate API Keys!
Note: To generate an API key, the Public API feature first must be enabled by your Success Specialist or Support.
There are two kinds of API keys, and which one you need depends on what you are connecting:
- Zapier API Keys — account-level keys used for your Zapier connection. They are managed by account Admins, and any Admin can see and manage them.
- Personal API Keys — keys scoped to your individual user, used to call the Levitate Public API. Any user can generate one, and you only see the keys you created.
Zapier API Keys
Once the feature is enabled, API Keys can be accessed by account Admins by clicking into the dropdown menu under your name in the upper right corner and choosing Integrations.
Then, you will choose Manage Keys on the API Keys integration card
From there, you'll click on the Generate New Key button, in the upper right corner
Finally, you'll name the API Key you've generated.
To use your API Key, simply choose Copy to Clipboard and paste it in the Zap setup step for Levitate.
Personal API Keys
Personal API keys are scoped to your individual user account rather than your organization, and they are what you use to call the Levitate Public API. Unlike the account-level Zapier keys above, personal keys are created and managed by you: any user on the account can generate one regardless of admin status, and you only see and manage the keys you personally created.
Generating a personal API key
From the same Integrations page, find the Personal API Keys card and choose Manage Keys. Click Generate New Key in the upper right corner and give the key a name so you can identify it later.
Choose Copy to Clipboard to copy your key and store it somewhere safe.
Revoking a personal API key
Return to the Personal API Keys card, locate the key, and delete it. Revoking takes effect immediately, and it has no effect on your organization's Zapier keys or on keys created by other users.
API Documentation
Reference documentation for the Public API — every available endpoint, its parameters, and example responses — is published at api.levitate.ai/docs. The page includes a built-in authorization panel you can use to generate a token in the browser and try an endpoint without configuring anything in your own tooling.
For an overview of what the Public API covers and how to authenticate, see the Levitate Public API article.
FAQs
Q: Can I use my Zapier API key on a platform other than Zapier?
A: No. The account-level keys on the Zapier card are built to work only with a Zapier connection. To call the Levitate Public API from a script or another tool, generate a Personal API Key instead.
Q: Do I need to be an admin to generate a personal API key?
A: No. Any user on the account can generate a personal key. Zapier keys, by contrast, can only be managed by account Admins.
Q: What happens if my key is exposed?
A: Delete the key immediately and generate a new one. Deleting takes effect right away, and any request still using the old key will fail with an authorization error.
