Configure API Keys

To use the API, define an API Key for your organization's Luminate Online website. API keys allow access through Luminate Online APIs. The only required field is the Luminate Online API Key.

1. Select Edit API keys> next to Configure API keys.
2. Enter any complex string of characters for the Luminate Online API Key. The api_key parameter uses this value when Luminate Online APIs are invoked from a server script or web form. This key isn't a secure password, and can be included in a hidden field of a web form.



3. Enter any complex string of characters for the Luminate Online® API Secret Key. When the sign_redirects parameter is set, Luminate Online® uses this key to sign responses by generating a hash signature on redirect responses to API calls. For more information, see Using Redirect URLs.
   You only need a secrete key and digital encryption algorithm with signed redirects. Never pass this key in API requests directly. If your secret key value is compromised, select Change to Generate a new Secret Key.
4. For Digital signature encryption algorithm, choose the SHA-1 encryption method to use when the option to sign_redirects is used with API calls.
5. Select Finish.

If you want to access Server APIs, go on to the next step. Otherwise, you are ready to start using Client APIs.
