How to create an API key in YakCharts

Give each system that renders charts its own key, so you can rotate or revoke one without breaking the others.

Transcript

Create a separate key for each app that renders your charts, so you can replace one without touching the others.

Open API Keys and select Add API Key. YakCharts generates the key for you; there's nothing to fill in.

The new key appears at the top of the list. Select it any time to copy it.
