API keys are used to authenticate server-to-server calls. (API keys should never be used for client-to-server operations!)
To generate a key, either use the Verdocs admin interface and make note of the client_id and client_secret generated, or call
createKey as shown below. Then call Users.Auth.authenticateApp to obtain an access token using the provided ID and
secret. Note that server-to-server authentication requests return shorter-lived tokens, so it is important to check the exp
field and re-authenticate as needed for subsequent calls.
API keys may be updated or rotated at any time. Regular rotation is recommended. Rotation will not expire or invalidate
existing server-to-server sessions, so it may be done at any time without disrupting your application.
