🔐 API Keys: Run Without the Editor
Call Monkedo components and triggers from your own code, with access limited to exactly what you choose.
API Keys let you run components and subscribe to triggers programmatically, without opening the visual editor. Each key belongs to your team and gives access only to the apps and actions you explicitly choose. Your code calls Monkedo over a standard REST API, and Monkedo uses the connections you set up in advance, so the people and systems calling it never handle raw login tokens or passwords.
What’s new
Run actions from your own code. Execute allowed steps, such as sending an email or creating a record, from your product, CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, or backend services.
Discover components. List available actions and read their input and output schemas.
Manage triggers. Register, list, and remove event-based triggers tied to your key. Monkedo notifies your system through a public webhook URL when a trigger fires.
Send and receive files. Pass files as input by content or by URL. File outputs come back with a name, size, and download URL. Large files are supported too.
Use the email app. Email components can be used through API Keys like any other app.
Use shared connections. Your team’s connected accounts can be selected for a key, so everyone works with the same connection.
One key per environment. Create separate keys for development, staging, and production, and regenerate a key in one click if it may have been exposed.
Built to keep you in control
Your key, your scope. Nothing is available through the API unless you add it to the key. Access is denied by default.
Secrets are protected. The full key is shown once, after you create or regenerate it. Copy it right away.
Instant revocation. Deleting or regenerating a key takes effect immediately.
Connections are checked. If a linked account is expired or missing permissions, Monkedo tells you before you save.
We recommend treating API keys like passwords: store them in a secrets manager, grant only the components each key needs, and rotate or delete keys you no longer use.
