Generating IDE/CLI Integration key

Before you install IDE integrations, you need to generate an API key.

Note: A user with Admin and Developer roles can create an API Key for the IDE extension. The API Key will be created according to the user's scope.

To generate an API key:

1. From the left pane of OX Security platform, select Settings > API Key Settings.

2. In the API Key Settings window, select CREATE API KEY.

3. In the Create API Key dialog, set the following:

API Key Name	Add a meaningful name that is easy to identify. It is good practice to include the key's intended purpose in the name.
API Key Type	Select IDE/CLI Integration.
Expiration Date	Until when you can use this key.

1. Select CREATE. The key appears.

1. Copy and save the API Key Secret to be used when connecting to APIs. This is the only time when you can see and copy the key.

2. Select CLOSE. The new key appears in the API Key Settings page.
