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.
