        For legacy customers, the API service is free for the first 2 months so that you can test the service, develop your custom application and ensure that using API works well for your use case. After the trial period ends, you can contact us to request an extension.

        Creating Access Key

        After activating the API, you should create an Access Key. Click the CREATE icon on the page to proceed.

        You can assign Access Roles to each Access Key to dictate what they are allowed to do. Please find below the Access Roles and their coverage

        Fetch monitoring assets can fetch the photos and/or videos recorded during a test session
        List taskscan fetch/query tasks
        List testscan fetch/query tests

        You can create multiple Access Keys, assign them different roles, then give the keys to different teams in your company, and manage their access and roles individually.

        After assigning the desired roles and a title, lick SAVE  to create the key.

        Finding Private Key/Authorization Token

        You will be using the Private Key/Authorization Token while communicating with Testinvite.
        Ensure the Private Key is kept secure, as it provides access to your organization's data.

        After creating an Access Key, in the old screens, open the Access Key menu, reveal and write down the Private Key/Authorization Token associated with the Access Key.

        In the new screens, click the View the Key button in the table to reveal the Private Key and Authorization Token. 

        If a Private Key/Authorization Token is exposed, you can go to Access Key editor, check the Reset Key option and save the Access Key. The current Private Key/Authorization Token will be invalidated and a new one will be automatically generated for the associated Access Key.
