Get your API key

What you'll need

• An account with access to Account Settings (not available on demo accounts)

Steps

1. Open Account Settings and go to the API tab.
2. Click Generate to create your App Secret Key. If you've already generated one, the same button reads Regenerate.
3. Click the eye icon to reveal the key, then click the key field to copy it. Treat it like a password — anyone with this key can act on your account programmatically.
4. Use the key as the identifier header on requests to MyWiFi's API. This unlocks a real set of endpoints for managing your account programmatically: creating and managing locations, devices (add, assign to a location, delete), sub-users, campaigns, and looking up guest/social-user data — the kind of thing you'd want if you're scripting bulk setup instead of clicking through the dashboard for every location or device.
5. Regenerating replaces your key immediately — any integration or script still using the old key stops working the moment you regenerate. Only do this if you actually need to rotate it (for example, if the key leaked).

Best practice: don't regenerate your key casually "just to be safe" — since regeneration is immediate and irreversible, only do it when you actually suspect the key has been exposed, and update every integration that uses it right after.
