Request an API Key

This how-to shows two ways to request and track your Quivo API key: through The Connector web app (UI) or via the API. If you already have your key, proceed to Make your first API call.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

Connector Web App access: To use the UI flow.
Credentials: Your Quivo login for The Connector.
API access (for API flow): Ability to call authenticated endpoints. See the Authentication guide.

Request your API key

UI (Connector Web App)
API

Sign in to The Connector Web App.
In the left sidebar, open Admin.
Click Request API Key.
Submit the request and wait for approval.
After approval, the API Key field appears on this page; use the copy icon to copy it.

To request an API key via the API, you need to get your Seller ID first, then submit the request, and finally check the status. Follow these steps:

Get your Seller ID

If you don’t know your Seller ID, retrieve it after authenticating.

curl -X GET "${BASE_URL}/sellers" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Authorization: <YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN>"

Key fields in the response:

id: Your Seller ID (integer)
status: One of ACTIVE, BLOCKED, TERMINATED, NEW, PENDING

Request the API key

curl -X POST "${BASE_URL}/apiKeyRequests/{sellerId}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Replace {sellerId} with your Seller ID.

Check request status

curl -X GET "${BASE_URL}/apiKeyRequests" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Authorization: <YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN>"

Use the correct ${BASE_URL} configured for your account.
Contact Quivo support if you hit authentication issues or if your request is stalled.

Check status & retrieve your key

UI (Connector Web App)
API

After approval, sign back into The Connector and open the Request API Keys section under Admin. Use the copy icon to copy the key.

Periodically call GET /apiKeyRequests and inspect each request’s status field:

curl -X GET "${BASE_URL}/apiKeyRequests" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Authorization: <YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN>"

The response contains an array of requests with status values such as PENDING, APPROVED, REJECTED, or EXPIRED. When the status for your request changes to APPROVED, check whether the response includes the key in the value field; if it does, store it securely and start using it in the X-Api-Key header. If the key isn’t exposed in the response, contact Quivo support.
