API Keys
API keys let you connect SurveyReflex to external tools like Zapier. Each key is tied to your account and acts on your behalf.
Where to Find API Keys
- Go to Dashboard → Account Settings
- Scroll down to the API Keys section
Generating a Key
- Click Generate New Key
- Enter a descriptive name (e.g.
My Zapier Key,Production) - Click Generate
- Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once and cannot be retrieved again
Important: Store your key somewhere safe (e.g. a password manager). If you lose it, you will need to revoke it and generate a new one.
Key Format
All SurveyReflex API keys start with srx_live_. Only the first few characters are shown in the dashboard after creation — this is your key prefix and is used to identify the key without exposing the secret.
Viewing Your Keys
The API Keys list shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The label you gave the key |
| Prefix | The visible start of the key (e.g. srx_live_ab…) |
| Created | When the key was generated |
| Last used | When the key was last authenticated |
Revoking a Key
- Find the key in the list
- Click Revoke
- Confirm the prompt
Revoking a key is permanent. Any integration using that key will stop working immediately. Generate a new key and update your integration if needed.
Security Tips
- Give each integration its own named key so you can revoke one without disrupting others
- Revoke keys you no longer use
- Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source control
