Overview

API keys let tools like Zapier, your own scripts, or a developer’s app use Reap on your behalf. You create and manage them in Reap. To learn how to use a key in code, see the Authentication guide.

Open API Keys

Click API Keys in the left sidebar, or click your avatar in the top right, choose Settings, and open API Keys.

Create A Key

1

Click Create a secret key

The Create an API key form opens.
2

Name it (optional)

Under Key name, add a name that says where the key is used, for example Zapier or Production server.
3

Set an expiry (optional)

Under Expiry, pick a date if you want the key to stop working automatically. Keys don’t expire unless you set a date.
4

Click Create key

Reap shows your new key once.
5

Save your key

Copy the key and store it somewhere secure, such as a password manager. It can’t be viewed again. If you lose it, delete it and create a new one. Click Done when you’ve saved it.

Manage Your Keys

Each key is listed with its Name and a masked version of the key.
Deleting a key takes effect immediately, with no confirmation step. Any tool or integration using that key stops working straight away. Update your integrations before you delete a key.

Limits And Rules

  • You can have up to 10 active API keys.
  • A key is linked to your user account. If you’re removed from the studio, your keys are deactivated.
  • Studio owners can view and manage every API key in the studio.
  • Each AI tool you connect through Reap MCP appears in this list as a key named MCP — [tool], for example MCP — Claude. See Manage Or Revoke MCP Connections.

Keep Your Keys Safe

  • Never share a key or paste it into public places such as browser code, screenshots, or public repositories.
  • Reap may automatically deactivate a key that becomes publicly exposed.
  • Use a separate key for each integration so you can delete one without breaking the others.
