In this article, we will go through the steps of creating and deleting Account Keys on the MetaKeep Console. Account Keys allow you to make authenticated API calls to the MetaKeep Admin APIs to create and manage apps programmatically.

Account Keys vs API Keys

Account Keys are used to make authenticated API calls to the MetaKeep Admin APIs to create and manage apps programmatically.

Once an app is created, app-specific API Keys are created. These API Keys are used to make authenticated API calls to the MetaKeep App APIs to create and manage objects such as lambdas, collections, NFTs, coins, etc underneath the app.

This allows you to create and manage multiple apps under a single MetaKeep developer account with different access controls for each app.

We never store the Account Keys or Secrets

Full Account Keys are never stored, only the first four characters will be shown after the Account keys have been created.

You can only view and copy the full Account Key and Secret at the time of creation.

Step 2: Tap Save to save the new Account key

Once you are ready, tap Save. Make sure to copy the Account Key and the Account Secret before clicking Save.

Delete Account Keys

The console allows you to delete Account keys. You will want to delete Account keys in case of personnel changes in engineering teams, or to disaster mitigate, in the event, your company faces a data breach. It's also a good practice to rotate Account keys every few months.
