# Managing Fabricate API keys

To use the Fabricate API, you must have a Fabricate API key.

## Displaying the list of API keys

To display the list of API keys, click the user icon at the bottom left of Fabricate, then select **Account Settings**.

The **API Keys** page contains your list of API keys.

## Creating an API key

To create an API key:

1. Click **Create New API Key**.
2. On the **Create New API Key** panel, in the **Name** field, provide a name for the API key.
3. By default, API keys do not expire. To set an expiration, from the **Expires** dropdown list, select when the API key expires. You can select one of the default options (30 days, 90 days, one year), or provide a custom expiration date.
4. By default, new API keys are granted Editor access to all of the current account workspaces. For information about workspace roles, go to [Configuring access to a workspace](/fabricate/workspaces/configuring-access-to-a-workspace.md#about-workspace-roles).\
   \
   To grant a different workspace role, select the role from the dropdown list.\
   \
   To not grant any access to the account workspaces, uncheck the **Grant access to all workspaces** checkbox. You can then add the API key as needed to specific workspaces.\
   \
   Note that this only applies to workspaces that exist when you create the API key. The API key is not automatically granted access to any future workspaces.
5. Click **Create API Key**.
6. On the **API key created** panel, Fabricate displays the key.\
   \
   To be able to use the key, you must copy it from this panel. The key is not displayed again. On the API Keys page, the keys are masked.\
   \
   To copy the key to the clipboard, click **Copy**.

## Deleting an API key

To delete an API key, click its delete icon.
