API & Access

The API & Access page lets you create and manage API credentials for programmatic access to your Resplendent Data account.

What are API credentials?

API credentials consist of a label and an API key. The key authenticates requests when calling the Resplendent API programmatically. Each credential can be marked as a reseller credential if needed.

Accessing API credentials

1. Open Settings from the main navigation
2. Select API & Access in the System section

Creating a new credential

1. Click the New Credential button
2. Copy the API key shown in the Key field — this is the only time the key is displayed
3. Edit the label to identify this credential

The key is only shown once during creation. If you lose it, you’ll need to delete the credential and create a new one.

Managing credentials

Editing a label

Click the edit icon next to the credential label to change it. Save or cancel your changes.

Copying credentials

• Click the copy icon next to the ID to copy the credential ID
• Click the copy icon next to the API key to copy the key

Deleting a credential

1. Click the delete icon on the credential card
2. Confirm the deletion in the dialog

Deleting a credential is permanent. Any applications using that key will lose access immediately.

Reseller credentials

If you’re a reseller or Giga Admin, you’ll see a toggle on each credential to mark it as a reseller credential. This flag controls API access permissions for reseller-specific features.

Requirements

• Staff role or higher
• Starship tier or above
• Resplendent API feature toggle enabled
• Resplendent user or reseller account

Best practices

Key security

• Store API keys securely, never commit them to version control
• Use environment variables or secret management tools
• Rotate keys periodically by creating new ones and deleting old ones

Access control

• Create separate credentials for different applications
• Delete credentials that are no longer in use
• Use descriptive labels to identify what each key is for
