API keys (for your developer)

An API key lets your own app, website backend or system use your bots directly. You don't need one to use BotBazar itself.

Create a key

1. Open API Keys and click Create API key. 2. Name it after where it will be used (e.g. "Hospital website"). 3. Copy the key now — for safety it's shown only once.

Give it to your developer along with the [Developer docs](/dev-docs).

[!WARNING] Treat a key like a password: anyone who has it can use your bots and spend your tokens. Never paste it into a public website's code. If a key leaks, revoke it here and create a new one.
