Managing API Keys is an essential and *necessary* component of intelligent integration management and control.  The first step in any API integration is to ensure that you have a Community-level API Key available within your Centercode site. Any individual API Key can be leveraged by multiple simultaneous API integrations, so if one is already available for your use, you may continue past this step. If not, please follow the instructions below.

Inputting IP addresses to this field will deny any system outside the specified IP(s) 10. *(Optional)* Select to receive Email Notifications when this API Key is used 11. Click **Submit** Congratulations! You’ve just created a Community-level API Key and unlocked Enhanced Integrations! ### Notes: - Enhanced Integration API features will be hidden if a valid Community API Key is not available. - Single API Keys can be used by *multiple* integrations at once. Disabling a Key will disable (by breaking) all integrations using that key. Use this information to appropriately manage your available API Keys. - **Please note that when sending a Post request to your Centercode API endpoint, the JSON body must be JSON encoded.** - [Customer Training & Centercode Basics](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customer Video Training](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#customer-video-training) - [Centercode FAQs](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#centercode-faqs) - [Centercode Basics](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/customer-training-centercode-basics?hsLang=en#centercode-basics) - [Community Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Initial Configuration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#initial-configuration) - [Community Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/community-administration?hsLang=en#community-administration) - [Project Setup & Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Project Creation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#project-creation) - [Recruiting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#recruiting) - [Project Administration](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#project-administration) - [Macros and Automation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/project-setup-administration?hsLang=en#macros-and-automation) - [User Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Surveys](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#surveys) - [Content & Resources](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#content-resources) - [Tester & User Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/user-management?hsLang=en#tester-user-management) - [Feedback Management](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Feedback Collection](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#feedback-collection) - [Feedback Triage & Moderation](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/feedback-management?hsLang=en#feedback-triage-moderation) - [Reporting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Delta Dashboards](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#delta-dashboards) - [Custom Reports](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/reporting?hsLang=en#custom-reports) - [Enhanced Integrations & APIs](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integration Center Endpoints](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#integration-center-endpoints) - [Single Sign-On Integrations](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#single-sign-on-integrations) - [Centercode Guides to Simple API Integrations](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#centercode-guides-to-simple-api-integrations) - [Centercode Guides to Endpoint Specific Systems](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#centercode-guides-to-endpoint-specific-systems) - [Enhanced Integrations Troubleshooting](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/enhanced-integrations-apis?hsLang=en#enhanced-integrations-troubleshooting) - [Troubleshooting & Miscellaneous](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/troubleshooting-miscellaneous?hsLang=en) - [Announcements and Releases](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [C17 - The Delta Release](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#c17-the-delta-release) - [Centercode's GoEarly Program](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#centercodes-goearly-program) - [Update Archive](https://learn2.centercode.com/en/announcements-and-releases?hsLang=en#update-archive) - [Centercode Blog](https://www.centercode.com/blog) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://learn2.centercode.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Centercode_Logo_Icon_M.png?width=48&height=48&name=Centercode_Logo_Icon_M.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.centercode.com?hsLang=en) Centercode Help Center Copyright © 2026, Centercode
