How to generate and manage API keys for secure access to the Nuvho API.
Generating an API key
- Go to Settings → Developers → API Keys.
- Click Generate new key.
- Give the key a descriptive name (e.g. "Production integration", "Internal dashboard").
- Set the key's scope: Read only or Read & Write.
- Click Create. Copy the key immediately — it will only be shown once.
Using your API key
Pass your API key in the Authorization header on every request:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Example request
curl https://api.nuvho.com/v1/properties \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Key management best practices
- Create separate keys for each integration or application — never share keys between systems.
- Use read-only keys wherever write access isn't needed.
- Rotate keys every 90 days or immediately if you suspect a key has been compromised.
- Never commit API keys to source code repositories.
⚠️ Security note
If a key is exposed, revoke it immediately from Settings → Developers → API Keys and generate a replacement. Nuvho logs all API activity — contact support if you need an audit trail of activity on a compromised key.
