Account API keys

Updated Jun 24, 2026

The account API key is used as the authorization token for Stape API requests.

With it, you can interact with the Stape API programmatically and automate tasks such as managing container settings, accounts, and subscriptions directly from your scripts, services, or integrations.

Important:

The full key token is shown only once, at the moment you create it. After you close or leave the page, the dashboard masks the key and displays only the last few characters for identification. If you lose the token, you can't recover it – you'll need to delete the key and create a new one.

To delete a key, click the Delete icon:
