This guide explains how to create and manage API keys that allow external applications to access your workspace data programmatically.
This feature requires administrator or workspace owner permissions. Changes made here affect all users in your workspace.
Who should read this: Workspace administrators and developers who need to integrate PlaneConnection with external systems.Prerequisites: Admin or Account Owner role. API key management must be enabled for your workspace.

​
When to use API keys

API keys provide programmatic access to your workspace data through the PlaneConnection API. Common use cases include:
  • Syncing trip data with your scheduling software
  • Pulling safety report data into external dashboards
  • Automating invoice creation from your accounting system
  • Feeding fleet status into your company website

​
Create an API key

Treat API keys like passwords. Never commit them to version control, share them in plain text, or include them in client-side code. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately and create a new one.

​
Rotate an API key

To replace an existing key without downtime:

​
Revoke an API key

  1. Navigate to Settings > API Keys.
  2. Find the key you want to revoke.
  3. Click the Revoke action on the key row.
  4. Confirm the revocation.
Revoked keys stop working immediately. Any application using the revoked key will receive 401 Unauthorized responses.
Revoked keys remain visible in the key list with a Revoked status for audit trail purposes. They cannot be re-activated — create a new key instead.
