API Key
The API key is a unique identifier that allows your application or integration to securely access the AltTextLab API. It’s required to authenticate your requests when using the API or any of our integrations, and ensures that only authorized users can generate alt text.
You’ll need an API key when using any integration method — whether it’s the API, Chrome extension, or one of our upcoming platform integrations (like Shopify, WordPress, Zapier, Make, and more).
How to generate an API key
1) Log in to your AltTextLab Dashboard
2) Go to the API Keys settings
3) Click button "Create API key"
4) Copy and store it somewhere safe
Keep it secure
Your API key gives access to your account's functionality, so treat it like a password:
- Never share it publicly
- Don’t include it in client-side code or frontend apps
If your key is ever compromised, delete it immediately in the API Keys section of your dashboard and generate a new one.
