Generate an API key
Easily generate API keys for your Attio workspace.
API keys allow you to connect external tools and services to your workspace with secure, scoped access. You can generate access tokens to read, create, or update data in Attio, making it easy to build custom integrations, automate workflows, and sync information across platforms.
Generate an API key
In order to generate an API key for your workspace, you must be an admin. If you're not an admin for your workspace, you can ask an admin to complete the following steps:
From the dropdown beside your workspace name, click Workspace settings.
Click the Developers tab.
Click + New access token.
Give your new access token a name.
Set the appropriate Scopes for the token.
Treat access tokens like passwords, as they contain sensitive information. Learn more about keeping your data safe.
Manage API keys
Once you've created access tokens, admins can manage them from the Developers page in Workspace settings.
Click a token to copy it, or the eye icon to show it.
Click the three dots to the right of a token to find Edit and Delete options. Click Edit to modify the token name or scopes.

Keeping your data safe
Your API keys should be treated as highly sensitive information - think of a token like a password. You should only give tokens to services you fully trust.
Scopes should be used to limit how much access a token has to your Attio data. Modify the Scopes settings to fine-tune its access.
If leaked, tokens could be used maliciously, as they can provide someone with access to all of your Attio data. If you suspect a token has been compromised, delete it and replace it with a new one.
Note: Tokens should never be shared with the Attio Support team. We'll never ask you for them.
