What are Stripe API keys and how to find them

What is an API key?

API keys are used to authenticate requests to the Stripe API. See technical documentation on how to create, reveal, delete, and roll/change API keys

How to find the API key in the dashboard?

Users with Administrator permissions can access a Stripe account’s API keys in the Developers Dashboard.

If you do not have access, you can ask your Administrator to grant you permissions.

How do I find the secret key?

You can reveal a secret key as many times as needed in test mode.

For security, in live mode Stripe only shows you a secret or restricted API key one time. Store the key in a safe place where you won’t lose it. 

If you lose the key, you can roll it/change it, or delete it and create another.
