API keys

Make and revoke keys for the BV API from your bklink account.

Keys for the BV API are made on bklink.uk/api-keys while signed in.

  • Make a key. Give it a name (optional) so you can tell keys apart. The key is shown once, when it is made: copy it then. Only a fingerprint of it is kept, so it cannot be shown again.
  • Up to 5 live keys per account. Revoke one to make another.
  • Revoke a key at any time. Anything using it stops working within about a minute.
  • Partner tier. The same page has the application for the partner tier, and, once approved, each day's paid usage and what it was charged.

Keys start with mxk_ followed by 40 letters and digits. Treat a key like a password; see Authentication.
