Developer Tools

Generate and manage your unique Access Tokens, used for accessing your 7shifts account via our V2 API.

Typically this is only used by developers unless this information is required from you to set up a third-party integration.

⚠️ API key authentication is deprecated. As of August 31, 2022 API key authentication is no longer recommended. If your company has already generated an API key, you will continue to have access to it. If you require a new API key you will be able to create one, although it is only recommended if the integration you are using does not use a supported authentication method.

To learn more about authenticating and endpoints, check out our API documentation.
