Use API keys for programmatic access to LinguLink. Keys are scoped to your organization and are prefixed with ll_ followed by 64 hex characters.

​
Create a Key

You can create keys from the dashboard (API Keys) or via the API (POST /api/v1/api-keys, which itself requires the admin scope):
  1. Provide a unique name for the key
  2. Select the scopes the key needs (defaults to export:read)
  3. Optionally set a rate limit (1–10000 requests/hour, default 1000)
  4. Copy the full key — it is shown only once at creation
The key value is stored only as a hash; if you lose it, create a new one.

​
Security Checklist

  • Use separate keys per environment
  • Assign minimum required scopes
  • Store keys in environment variables / a secret manager
  • Rotate keys regularly
  • Revoke compromised keys immediately

​
Available Scopes

The test, project, and GET /demo endpoints require no scope; export requires export:read; key management and POST /demo require admin.
