Generating API keys for authentication

With an API key, you can automatically authenticate to the platform or to a specific instance of a service from a script or application. Your API keys are associated with your credentials and are specific to you. With API keys, you can authenticate without entering your username and password.

Platform API keys are managed through the Integrated UI service that is provided by IBM Cloud Pak foundational services and used by IBM Concert Operate. This service is available for you to leverage when you install IBM Concert Operate.

For more information about generating a Platform API Key, see Generating API keys for authentication in the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services documentation.
