API authentication

How to generate and manage API keys for secure access to the Nuvho API.

Generating an API key

  1. Go to Settings → Developers → API Keys.
  2. Click Generate new key.
  3. Give the key a descriptive name (e.g. "Production integration", "Internal dashboard").
  4. Set the key's scope: Read only or Read & Write.
  5. 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.
