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

Caution

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.
