Manage keys yourself in the campaign dashboard under Settings → API — create, view, and
revoke campaign-scoped keys there. The API is in private beta: if you don’t see the tab, it
isn’t enabled for your campaign yet — contact the Culper team to turn it on.
A key looks like this and is shown once at creation — store it somewhere safe (the example
below is a placeholder, not a real key):
Each key carries a set of read scopes. Requesting an endpoint your key doesn’t have a scope for
returns 403 forbidden.
Scope
Grants
walks:read
The Walks endpoints (live).
lists:read
The Lists endpoints (coming soon).
outdoor:read
The Outdoor / signs endpoints (coming soon).
sms:read
The SMS reporting endpoints (coming soon).
Keep your key secret. It grants read access to your whole campaign’s data for its scopes. Never
embed it in a mobile app, browser, or public repo — call the API from a server you control.
