Mintlify API keys allow you to interact with your docs programmatically — triggering deployments, managing content, and automating your docs workflow.

​
Generate an API key

  1. Go to dashboard.mintlify.com and open your organization.
  2. Go to Settings → API keys.
  3. Click New key, give it a descriptive name (for example, ci-deploy or content-automation), and click Create.
  4. Copy the key immediately — it won’t be shown again after you close the dialog.
Store the key in your secrets manager (GitHub Actions Secrets, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.) — never hardcode it in source code or config files.

​
Key naming

Use descriptive names that identify the service using the key:
  • github-actions-deploy for CI/CD workflows
  • content-generator-production for automated content tools
This makes it easy to identify and rotate the right key if credentials are compromised.

​
Rotation

Rotate API keys regularly or immediately if you suspect exposure:
  1. Generate a new key in Settings → API keys.
  2. Update the key in every system that uses it.
  3. Verify the new key works in all dependent systems.
  4. Revoke the old key.
Revoking a key takes effect immediately. Update all dependent systems before revoking to avoid broken deployments or automation.
