API Keys

Keys authenticate your backend to the Cyrus API. Generate and manage them from the dashboard; this page explains how they work.

• One key. There is no TEST/LIVE split — Cyrus runs its own payment-provider account, so a single key authenticates every request.
• Generate it yourself. Signup does not give you a reusable visible key. Open Dashboard → API keys, generate one, and copy it immediately.
• Shown once. The full key is revealed a single time at creation. Existing keys only show their prefix, so store the full value in your secret manager immediately.
• Revocable. Revoke a leaked key instantly; it cannot be un-revoked, so issue a fresh one.
