Getting Your API Key

Generate and manage your API credentials.

What API Keys Are For

API keys authenticate requests from your systems to the amino.reviews API. You need an API key to send review invitations programmatically, retrieve invitation statistics, and connect the WooCommerce plugin to your vendor account.

Creating an API Key

Sign In

Go to API Keys

In your vendor dashboard sidebar, click API Keys.

Name Your Key

Enter a descriptive name for the key, such as "WooCommerce Plugin" or "Custom Integration." This helps you identify what each key is used for if you create multiple keys.

Create the Key

Click Create API Key. Your new key will be displayed once.

Copy Immediately

Copy the key and store it somewhere safe. For security, the full key is only shown once at creation time. If you lose it, you will need to revoke the old key and create a new one.

Key Format

All amino.reviews API keys start with the amino_ prefix, followed by a random string. For example: amino_k7x9m2p4q8r1w3...

Security Best Practices

Treat keys like passwords — Never share them publicly or include them in client-side code.
Use environment variables — Store keys in environment variables or secret managers, never in source code or configuration files committed to version control.
Do not commit to Git — Add any files containing API keys to your .gitignore.
Use separate keys for separate integrations — Create one key per integration so you can revoke individual keys without disrupting other systems.

Revoking a Key

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, go to Dashboard → API Keys and click Revoke next to the key. Revocation is immediate — any system using that key will stop working instantly. Create a new key and update your integrations as needed.

Important: The full API key is only displayed once when created. Copy it immediately and store it securely. There is no way to retrieve the full key later.
