Create and revoke Tella API keys in Settings → API Keys (under Other). Each key is shown once, you can have up to 10, and Viewers can’t open the page.
You create and revoke Tella API keys in Settings → API Keys, under Other: click your workspace name in the top-left corner, then Settings. Each key is shown only once, and you can have up to 10 at a time.An API key authenticates requests to Tella on your workspace’s behalf. You need one for the public API and webhooks and for skills that call Tella, such as Tella to YouTube. The Tella MCP server usually signs in with OAuth instead, but also accepts an API key.
Members with the Viewer role cannot open this page. Ask a workspace owner or member to create a key for you.
In Create API key, give the key a name that says where it will be used, for example, Production API key. The name is only a label for you; it does not affect what the key can do.
Click Create.
Copy the key straight away and store it somewhere safe.
The full key is shown once, at the moment you create it. Tella cannot show it to you again. If you lose it, revoke the key and create a new one.
Key: the first few characters of the key. This prefix is enough to tell keys apart, but it is not the key itself.
Created: when the key was made.
Last used: when a request last used it, or Never if nothing has used it yet.
Last used is the quickest way to find keys you can safely retire: anything that says Never, or that has not been used in months, is a good candidate to revoke.
Revoking takes effect immediately, and any application still using that key stops working. If a script or integration breaks right after you revoke, that is why. Issue a new key and update the integration with it.
Yes. You can have up to 10 API keys at a time. If creating a key fails with “Maximum of 10 API keys allowed per user”, revoke one you no longer use and try again.
