Context

When you create an API key in Sync, the full key is only shown once at the time of creation. After that, only a masked version (showing the last few characters) is displayed in the dashboard for security reasons.

Answer

If you need your full API key:

1. Go to Settings → API Keys in the Sync Studio.
2. If you still have the key saved somewhere (environment variable, config file, password manager), use that copy.
3. If you have lost the full key, you must generate a new one. Click “Create API Key” to generate a fresh key.
4. Copy the new key immediately and store it securely. You will not be able to see the full key again after leaving the page.

Best practices

• Store your API key in an environment variable (SYNC_API_KEY) rather than hardcoding it.
• Use a password manager or secrets management tool to store keys securely.
• If you suspect your key has been compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.
