Every request needs an API key. An API key starts with cc_live_.

​
Before you start

ClipStake turns the Creator API on for your account. Until then, the Creator API section does not show in Settings. Contact ClipStake support to ask for it.

​
Create an API key

  1. Sign in to the ClipStake web app.
  2. Open Settings, then Social, and find Creator API.
  3. Select Create API key and give the key a name.
  4. Copy the key. ClipStake shows it only once.
You can have up to 5 active API keys.

​
Send the API key

Send the API key in the Authorization header of each request.
The API does not accept a key in the URL or in a cookie. An Agency API key does not work here.

​
What an API key can do

An API key acts for your account only. It can:
  • Read the campaigns that ClipStake opened to your account.
  • Read your connected accounts and your clips on those campaigns.
  • Submit your posts to those campaigns.
It cannot connect an account. Use the ClipStake app or a shared connect link for that.

​
Keep the API key secret

  • Store the API key on your server.
  • Do not put the API key in a browser, a mobile app or a public repository.
  • Create one API key for each tool. Then you can revoke one tool without stopping the others.

​
Revoke an API key

In Settings, Social, Creator API, select Revoke on the key. The key stops working at once. You cannot restore a revoked key. If ClipStake turns the Creator API off for your account, every key stops working until it is turned on again. Requests with a revoked, missing or unknown key return 401 unauthorized.
