Generate API credentials

2. In the drop-down menu, select API Management.
3. Click Generate Credentials.
4. In Name, enter a descriptive name, and then click Save.

   • Keep this information in a safe place for future use. 
   • These credentials can be used to control any products within the account via API.
   • API credentials generated by the root user provide full access to the account, whereas credentials generated by a non-root user are limited to the access they currently have, unless further extended by the root user.
   • The API Client Secret cannot be regenerated. If you lose this information, you will need to regenerate an API credential.
