How to: Generate / Delete an API Key

Before 3rd party software programs, such as billing systems, can interface with the InterWorx Control Panel, that software must first authenticate to prove that it is permitted to do so.

The most common way to provide authentication is to pass what is known as an API Key. The API key will remain the same, despite any potential NodeWorx user email/password changes. It is also possible to have a different API Key per-reseller.

To Generate an API Key

  1. Log into NodeWorx from the browser (https://ip.ad.dr.ess:2443/nodeworx)

  2. Navigate to NodeWorx > API Key

  3. Click Generate

Note

If an API key is re-generated, all instances of the old API key in programs that connect to the InterWorx Control Panel must be replaced with the re-generated key.

To Delete an API Key
