How to generate an API key
All Datto integrations share a single API key. If the networking API is already enabled, you can skip the steps below and simply copy the API public and secret keys.
- Log into the Datto cloud controller web portal.
- From the top navigation, hover over Admin. Click Integrations.
- Click Networking.
- Click Enable Networking API.
- Copy the generated public API key and save it in a safe place.
- Click Reveal to show the secret API key. Copy and save the secret API key in a safe place.
How to add API credentials

- Click Discovery in the side navigation bar.
- Click the Manage Credentials tab.

- Click Test Connection to confirm your settings are accurate.
- Click Save.
