Generate an API Key
Prerequisites:
An Admin Account (Invite Users & Admins ->)

Note on API Asynchronous Responses:
Due to our system's asynchronous processing architecture and cryptographically verifiable ledger, our POST APIs utilize an API Results Table and a GET Results API to display errors and other information related to API requests.
The real-time response code you do receive from a Village POST API request represents whether or not your request has been added to our asynchronous processing queue, not whether the POST request and any downstream Programs & Rules were fully process without errors.
To view downstream processing errors and other information related to your POST requests, use the API Results Table and a GET Results API.
Once you've created a network and have an administrator account, you can generate an API key and begin the integration process.
From the Side Menu of your Network Admin view, navigate to "Manage Network" --> "API Tokens & Documentation."
Caution: Village API keys allows privileged access to your Network and any funds you have allocated to your Network's connected bank account and treasury. Make sure you keep it secure.
Caution: The key will be shown only once and cannot be shown again.
Click "Generate New Key", fill out the fields below, and click "Generate":
The key will be shown only once and cannot be shown again, so be sure to transfer it to a secure location. In the event your keys are lost or stolen, they should be immediately deleted and replaced with new keys.
