> Use **[Platform Studio](https://platform.zoom.us/)** to discover, purchase, build with, and manage Build Platform products. Create projects, get credentials, start a free trial, purchase a plan, and monitor usage.

Create your API Key to access Build platform APIs and webhooks.

## Credentials

-   **API keys** — Use for server-to-server (S2S) calls. Keys stay on your backend.
-   **SDK credentials** — Use to authorize SDK calls from your client, to start and join [Video SDK](/docs/video-sdk/auth/) or [Cobrowse SDK](/docs/cobrowse-sdk/authorize/) sessions.
-   **API credentials** — Use a short-lived JWT for client-to-backend API calls. A JWT expires quickly and doesn't expose your secret.

**Never embed raw API keys or secrets in client-side code.**

## Create API Key

1. In **Platform Studio**, click **Credentials**.
2. Click **Create** next to **API Keys**.
3. Enter a **Name**. This is optional and internal only. If you don't choose a name, Platform Studio uses a default.
4. **Expires after**. Choose an expiration option: Never, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, 1 year.
5. **IP allowlist**. Enter any IP addresses that you want to allow, or empty to allow all.
6. **Permissions**. Choose scopes for APIs. These depend on your product. You can choose multiple permissions for multiple products for one key, or limit permissions as needed.
7. Click **Create key**.
8. API key created. You'll see a modal dialog with the key and the instructions: _This is your new API key. Make sure to copy it before closing this dialog. For security reasons, it will not be shown again._ Copy your key and put it in a key manager.
9. Click **Close**. You'll get a confirmation dialog to confirm that you copied your key before the modal closes: _Have you saved your key? It cannot be shown again once this dialog closes._ You will not be able to access your key again. Click **Close anyway** or **Go back**.

### Table of API keys

Click an action to manage your key:

-   **Edit** - Change the name and permissions. You can't change the expiration time.
-   **Disable**/**re-enable** - Choose to disable or re-enable a key.
-   **Revoke your key** - Choose to revoke your key. Applications using this key will immediately lose access. This action cannot be undone. This also removes the key from the table.

### Review credential details

Click a key name to review the details about it.

-   **Name** - The key name.
-   **ID** - The ID, for internal support.
-   **User ID** - The ID of the user who created the key.
-   **Permissions** - The permissions the key has.
-   **Status** - The key status, Active or Disabled.
-   **Expires** - The expiration date and time, or "Never".
-   **Created** - The date and time the key was created.
-   **Updated** - The date and time the key was updated.

## Create JWT for API credentials

Create the JWT from your API key and secret. To generate it, choose an **expiration time** and click **Generate** under **Generate test API credential token**.

### Expiration time

-   Expire in - Choose when the JWT expires: 90 minutes, 1 day, or 1 week.
-   Expiration time - The expiration time for your JWT. For example: _Your JWT token will expire at HH:MM PM, MONTH DD, YYYY._

### Copy JWT

Copy your JWT from the **JWT Token** field.

### Regenerate API Secret

Click **Regenerate** to regenerate your **API Secret**, if needed.
