Frequently asked questions
Is the API key visible right away in my profile?
Yes, once you navigate to your profile settings, the API key is typically displayed or revealed with a click.
Can I have more than one API key?
Each user account generally has a single API key tied to it, rather than multiple keys.
What if I can't find the API key section?
Check that you're viewing your own profile settings and not a different admin page, since the key is user-specific.
Can I regenerate the key if needed?
Yes, Freshdesk typically allows you to regenerate your API key from the same profile page.
