API keys

Section titled “API keys”

API keys are available on Business and Enterprise plans (your own plan, or a seat in an organization on one of those plans).

Create a key

Section titled “Create a key”
  1. Sign in at lynqu.com and open Dashboard → AI Assistant.
  2. In the API keys section, name the key after what will use it (for example Zapier sync) and select Create key.
  3. Copy the key immediately. It is shown exactly once. Lynqu stores only a fingerprint, never the key itself. If you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.

You can hold up to 10 active keys. Use one key per integration so you can revoke one consumer without breaking the others.

Use a key

Section titled “Use a key”

Pass it as a Bearer token on every request:

Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>

Key lifetime and revocation

Section titled “Key lifetime and revocation”
  • Keys expire 12 months after creation. Rotation is revoke-and-create keys are never refreshed or extended.
  • Revoke a key any time from the same dashboard section. Revocation is immediate.

What API keys can do

Section titled “What API keys can do”

A key acts as your account. The same visibility and permissions you have in the app, including your organization role and department scope.

Deliberate exceptions. API keys are rejected (HTTP 403) on:

  • Changing or adding passwords and sign-in methods
  • Deleting the account
  • Billing and checkout endpoints
  • Creating, listing, or revoking API keys (key management always requires a signed-in session)

So a leaked key can read and write your workspace data until revoked, but it can never lock you out of your account or spend money.
