Creating access keys

If this is your first subscription, the first API key is created automatically.

To create an additional key in a subscription:

  1. Purchase a subscription.

  2. Go to the API Keys tab and click Create API Key.

  3. Enter the key name and click Create.

  4. If you plan to use the key for the mobile SDK:

    1. Enable the Use for SDK option.

    2. (Optional) To specify the App ID for which the key will be used, enable the App ID option. Specifying the App ID is required only for SDK versions earlier than 13.3.0 or if you plan to work with offline data. App ID requirements:

      You can use Latin letters (A–Z, a–z), digits (0–9), dots (.) to separate segments, and hyphens (-).

      For more information, see the official documentation.

      warning

      If the key has an App ID specified, you can only use this key for working with the mobile SDK. To work with the 2GIS API directly (via HTTP requests), create a separate key.

    3. Click Save and download key.

  5. Go to the documentation of the product you are interested in to start working with the API.

You can use the created API key to work with all services included in the subscription.
