Note: To configure or update your SSO credentials, contact Technical Support.

API Keys

The API Keys feature allows you to securely connect external applications or services with the Relativity pPlatform.

Administrators can create, view, edit, and disable keys directly within the platform.

Key Capabilities

  • Secure Authentication: Use keys as credentials for external integrations.
  • Granular Permissions: Define access at the module and sub-module level.
  • Lifecycle Management: Create, update, and disable keys as needed.
  • Expiration Control: Assign validity periods (7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, or Never).

When to Use API Keys

API Keys are recommended when:

  • You need to integrate third-party systems with the platform.
  • You want to automate data retrieval or updates through APIs.
  • You need to grant limited access to external teams or applications.

Accessing the API Keys Tab

To open the API Keys tab:

  1. Go to the Manage module in the main navigation.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click the API Keys tab.

API Keys Tab

Using an API Key

After successfully creating an API key, you can begin using it to authenticate and interact with the platform’s APIs.

Copying API Key

  • Once generated, the platform provides a unique API Key string.
  • Copy this value securely — it is required for authenticating API calls.
    • To copy the key, click the copy icon next to the key.
  • Use the key to retrieve or send data through the APIs corresponding to the permissions you selected.

API Key List

When you open the API Keys tab, a list of existing keys is displayed in a table. If no keys have been created yet, you’ll see a message prompting you to create one.

API Keys List

Each entry in the list includes:

Field

Description

API Name

A user-defined label that describes the key’s purpose (Example: Test API, Shipment Integration Key).

API Key

The unique string generated by the platform. This value is used by external systems to authenticate API calls.

Description

An optional field that provides additional context (Example: Used for integrating with ERP system).

Expiration

Shows when the key will expire (Example: 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, Never).

Actions

Options to manage the key:

  • Edit (pencil icon): Update the key’s name, description, expiration, or permissions.
  • Disable: Deactivate the key so it can no longer be used.
  • Enable: Reactivate a disabled key so it can be used again.
  • Renew: Extend or reset the expiration date of the key while keeping its current configuration and permissions.

Viewing API Key Details

You can view the details of any API key to check its configuration, expiration, and assigned permissions.

  • You can update:
    • API Name
    • Description
    • Expiration
    • Permissions

Disabling an API Key

If an API key is no longer needed, you can disable it to immediately revoke its access.

Disabling an API Key

  • From the API Key Details page, click the Disable button or icon to disable the key.

You can re-enable a previously disabled API key if it needs to be used again.

  1. From the API Keys list, locate the disabled key.
  2. Click Enable in the Actions column.
  3. The key will be restored and can be used to access the platform.

If an API key is nearing expiration or has already expired, you can renew it to extend its validity without changing its configuration or permissions.

  1. From the API Keys list, locate the key you want to renew.
  2. Click Renew in the Actions column.
  3. In the Renew API Key pop-up window, select a new expiration duration from the Expiration dropdown menu.
  4. Click Renew to confirm.
  5. Click Cancel if you do not want to renew the key.

Best Practices

  • Naming: Use meaningful names (e.g., Warehouse Integration API) to make management easier.
  • Description: Always include context, such as the department or application using the key.
  • Permissions: Assign only the minimum set of permissions needed (principle of least privilege).
  • Expiration: Avoid selecting Never unless absolutely required. Shorter lifespans improve security.
  • Security: Store keys securely and never expose them in public repositories or unsecured locations.
  • Rotation: Regularly create new keys and retire old ones to minimize risk.
  • Disabling: Immediately disable keys that are no longer in use.
