Obtain API Key

Organization administrators can create Teams OpenAPI access keys from the console.

​

Prerequisites

• You must have organization administrator privileges.

​

Steps

1. Open the organization settings page: https://qoder.com.cn/organizations/{orgid}/settings
2. Navigate to Settings > Advanced > API Keys
3. Click Create
4. Enter a key name and expiration time
5. After confirming, copy the key immediately

Important: The full key is displayed only once at creation time. After closing the dialog, you cannot retrieve it again. Always copy and store the key immediately after creation.

​

Expiration

The maximum key expiration is approximately 1 year. We recommend setting a shorter validity period based on your actual needs and rotating keys regularly.

​

Best practices

• Store keys in environment variables rather than hardcoding them in source code or config files.
• Create separate keys for each environment (development, staging, production) for easier management and rotation.
