Overview

API keys are unique alphanumeric values used to identify an application making API requests. API keys allow us to provide API usage metrics and allow our clients to control access to their data at any time.

In the example below, r538c65d7d3rsx2265tvzfje is an API key.

To use the Response API a developer must request an API key, which will be issued in a pending state until the key has been approved. This process is summarized below:

  1. Developer requests keys through the Developer Tools available on the Bazaarvoice Portal
