Generate an API key

The API key is a unique string generated in the WFO system in the License Management page. You use this API Key string and its KeyID in your implementation to create a Service Web Token (SWT).

The SWT then can be used for the secured communication between your implementation and the WFO system.

  5. Copy the generated API key and its KeyID, and securely store them on the server that runs your application. Storing them securely is the responsibility of the SDK user. You need the API key and its KeyID in your implementation.
