Getting an API key

An API key lets an AI assistant or your own code access your garage's data. Keys are available on Pro and Growth plans.

Generate a key

  1. In the dashboard, open Developers.
  2. Click Generate API key.
  3. Copy the key immediately — it looks like this:
ga_live_3f9a2c8e1b7d4a6f0c5e9b2d8a1f4c7e0b3d6a9f2c5e8b1d4a7f0c3e6b9d2a5f

You'll only see the full key once. For security we store it hashed and can't show it again. If you lose it, just generate a new one — that instantly replaces the old key.

Keep it secret

Your key grants read access to your garage's data, including customer names and phone numbers. Treat it like a password:

  • Don't commit it to public code repositories.
  • Don't share it in screenshots or chat.
  • Paste it only into trusted tools (e.g. your Claude Desktop config).

The ga_live_ prefix makes a leaked key easy to spot — secret scanners and log filters can flag it.

One key per garage

Each garage has a single active key at a time. Regenerating replaces the current key (the old one stops working immediately). Revoking removes it entirely — any connected assistant stops working until you generate a new one. This is your recovery path if a key is ever exposed.
