API keys
Let your own software use Zealous for your organization.
An API key lets a script or a server use Zealous on behalf of your organization. To work with Zealous through Claude or ChatGPT, you don't need a key: connect your assistant instead.
Create a key
Only an owner of the organization can create keys.
- Open Settings → API keys and press New key.
- Give it a Name, and choose when it Expires: 30 days, 90 days, 1 year or Never.
- Press Create key, then copy it. It is shown only once.
Use it
Send the key in the x-api-key header. A key belongs to one organization and works only there.
Keys get 600 requests a minute when they are made. Over the limit, Zealous answers 429 with a Retry-After header saying how long to wait.
To stop a key, open its menu and choose Revoke. Anything using it stops working right away.
