Get an API key

- Open Settings, Developers.

Owners have API key access, and an owner can give it to an admin. Keys are scoped: creating documents takes documents:write, and listing or fetching them takes documents:read. To replace a key without stopping anything, rotate it: the new key has the same access and the old one keeps working until you revoke it.
