API keys are the credentials that authenticate every request you make to the Scrapest API — whether from your own server, a webhook integration, or the dashboard itself. Each key is independent, so you can assign different keys to different projects or environments.

​
The Table

The API Keys page lists all your active keys with the following information:
  • Name — a human-readable label you assign at creation
  • Key — the actual key value, truncated for security; click the copy button to copy the full value to your clipboard
  • Created — the date the key was generated

​
Actions

​
Create a Key

  1. Click “New API Key” in the top-right corner.
  2. Enter a name for the key (e.g. production, staging, personal).
  3. Click Create — the key is generated and displayed.
The raw key value is only shown once, immediately after creation. Copy it and store it somewhere safe (a password manager, .env file, etc.). You cannot retrieve the full key again after closing the dialog.

​
Rename a Key

  1. Click the ⋯ menu on the key row.
  2. Select Rename.
  3. Enter a new label and confirm.
Renaming does not change the key value — any existing integrations using that key continue to work.

​
Revoke a Key

  1. Click the ⋯ menu on the key row.
  2. Select Revoke.
  3. Confirm the deletion.
Revoking is permanent. Any webhooks or tracked sources associated with that key will stop functioning immediately. You’ll need to re-create them with a new key.

​
Limits

You can hold a maximum of 3 API keys at a time per account. This limit is enforced both here and by the Telegram bot. If you need a new key, revoke an existing one first.
