Developer Settings

The Developer settings page lets organization administrators create and manage REST API keys for programmatic access to the thig.ai API.
API access requires a Starter plan or higher. Free plans do not include API key access.

Creating an API Key

  1. Go to Settings > Developer in your admin sidebar
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., “CI/CD Pipeline”, “Zapier Integration”)
  4. Optionally configure:
    • Expiration date — the key automatically stops working after this date
    • Rate limit — custom requests per minute (1–10,000). Leave blank for the default (60/min)
  5. Click Create Key
  6. Copy the key immediately — this is the only time it will be displayed
Store your API key securely. Anyone with the key has full API access with your permissions. Never commit keys to source control.

Using Your API Key

Include the key in the Authorization header of every request:

Managing Keys

From the Developer settings page you can:
  • View all keys with their prefix, status, last used date, and request count
  • Deactivate/activate a key to temporarily disable it without deleting
  • Edit a key’s name, expiration, or rate limit
  • Delete a key to permanently revoke access (immediate, cannot be undone)

Key Limits

The number of API keys you can create depends on your plan:

Rate Limiting

API key requests are rate-limited to 60 requests per minute by default. You can set a custom rate limit per key (1–10,000 req/min) when creating or editing a key. When rate-limited, the API returns HTTP 429 with a RATE_LIMITED error code and the time to retry.

Expiration Warnings

If a key has an expiration date set, you’ll receive an email warning 7 days before the key expires. After expiration, the key immediately stops working. To extend a key, edit it from the Developer settings page and set a new expiration date.

Audit Trail

All API key events are logged:
  • Key creation and deletion
  • Key activation/deactivation changes
  • Every API request made with the key
