Generate API Key
Steps to Generate Your API Key
- Sign in to Lintify
Log in to your Lintify account. If you don't have an account yet, you'll need to create one first.
- Navigate to API Settings
Go to your account settings and find the "API Keys" or "Developer Settings" section.
- Create New API Key
Click on "Generate New API Key" button. You might need to provide:
- A name for your API key (e.g., "GitHub CI")
- The scope of access (usually "CI/CD Integration")
- Expiration date (optional)
- Copy and Store Securely
After generation, copy your API key immediately. For security reasons, you won't be able to see it again after leaving the page.
Important: Store your API key securely. Never commit it directly in your code or share it publicly.
