The API keys associated with your user account enable you to access the API for all Tenable.io products for which your organization is licensed.
To use API Management, administrators create APIs. Each API consists of one or more operations, and each API can be added to one or more products. To use an API, developers subscribe to a product that contains that API, and then they can call the API's operation, subject to any usage policies that may be in effect. The method to generate API keys varies depending on the role assigned to your user account. Administrators can generate API keys for any user account. For more information, see Generate Another User's API Keys. Other roles can generate API keys for their own account.
Generate Api Key For Api Management Ca
All requests to a search service need a read-only api-key that was generated specifically for your service. The api-key is the sole mechanism for authenticating access to your search service endpoint and must be included on every request. In REST solutions, the api-key is typically specified in a request header. Generates a new consumer key and consumer secret for the named developer app. Rather than replacing an existing key, this API call generates a new key. For example, if you're using API key rotation, you can generate new keys whose expiration overlaps keys that will be out of rotation when they expire.

Generate Api Key For Api Management Services
Note: The API keys associated with your user account enable you to access the API for all Tenable.io products for which your organization is licensed. You cannot set separate keys for individual products. For example, if you generate API keys in Tenable.io Vulnerability Management, this action also changes the API keys for Tenable.io Web Application Scanning and Tenable.io Container Security.
What Is Api Key
To generate API keys for another user in the new interface:
Edit a user account.
The Edit User plane appears.
Under the API Keys section, click Generate API Keys.
Caution: Any existing API keys are replaced when you generate new API keys. You must update the applications where the previous API keys were used.
Review the warning and click Replace & Generate.
Tenable.io generates access and secret keys for the account. These keys must be used to authenticate with the Tenable.io REST API.
Caution: After you generate your API key, copy and save the key to a safe location. Without saving the keys, you cannot retrieve the keys from Tenable.io.
