# API

/settings/api

In this section you can configure the user API key, which allows you to use the Chevereto API (opens new window).

# API Key

The API key is auto-generated. A sample curl request is shown on the page:

curl --fail-with-body -X POST \
    -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
    -F "source=@image.jpeg" \
    http://yoursite/api/1/upload

Check the API V1 (opens new window) documentation to learn more.

# Viewing your key

The API key is displayed only once — store it in a secure location as it will be shown just once. After that, only a masked version is visible.

# Regen key

Click the Regen key button to invalidate the current key and generate a new one.
