API Key Generation

You can generate an API Key from your account console and use it with the API and command-line interface. Each user can create up to 10 API Keys. These keys are managed through the product dashboard, which you can access by logging into the Platform Dashboard (https://<domain>.login.illumina.com), navigating to the profile dropdown, and selecting "Manage API Keys."

To generate a new API Key, click Generate. You will need to name the API Key and decide whether to include all workgroups or select specific workgroups. The chosen workgroups will be accessible using this API Key.

After generating the API Key, it will be displayed (initially hidden). You can reveal the key to copy or download it to a file for secure storage. Remember, once you close the window, the key will no longer be accessible through the domain login page, so ensure it is stored securely for future use.

Store your API Key securely and refer to it when using the command-line interface or APIs.
