Overview
API keys in Limble CMMS are essential for enabling secure connections between external systems and Limble’s backend services. This guide provides an overview of API key management, including creation, permissions, and best practices for secure handling.
API keys are account-level, meaning they grant access to all locations within the account. They are not tied to specific locations or users.
This article will teach you how to create and manage your API keys.

Create New API Keys
To create a new API key, select “Add.”
In the new field, name your API key. Once the API key has been named, it cannot be changed.
Once the API key is created, copy the clientID and client secret from Limble into the applicable software. The client secret is only visible immediately after you create an API key, so be sure to do this right away.
Repeat this process for as many API keys as you need.
Refresh ClientID and Client Secret
Refresh ClientID and Client Secret
If you don’t copy the client secret when you create an API key, you will need to refresh the clientID and client secret.
Doing so will require you to update the clientID and client secret in scripts you currently use.
Select “Refresh Client ID/Secret.”
In the new window, select “Yes” to confirm your choice.
Copy the newly generated clientID and client secret.
