API Keys

API keys let you access the Record Meeting API programmatically without using your Google account credentials.

Creating an API key

1. Go to Settings → API Keys

2. Click Create API key

3. Enter a name (e.g. "My integration" or "CI pipeline")

4. Click Create

The full API key is shown only once at creation time. Copy it immediately and store it securely (e.g. in a password manager or environment variable). It cannot be retrieved again.

After creation, only the first 8 characters (prefix) are shown in the list — this is enough to identify a key without exposing it.

Using an API key

Include your key in the Authorization header of every API request:

Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>

See the API Reference → Authentication page for full details.

Viewing your keys

The API Keys page shows all active keys with:

• Name — the label you gave the key

• Prefix — first 8 characters for identification

• Created at — when the key was created

• Last used — when the key was last used to make a request

Revoking a key

1. Go to Settings → API Keys

2. Find the key you want to revoke

3. Click Revoke

The key stops working immediately. This cannot be undone — if you need access again, create a new key.
