Event Stream API Key

Last updated 2 November 2026

The Event Stream API Key lets you create and read instance events. You can also create events from third-party systems by API, so you have one place to store and show them.

This article includes the following topics:

  • Regenerating the Event Stream API key
  • Using the Event Stream API key

Regenerating the Event Stream API key

Insites enables you to regenerate the Event Stream API Key for security and risk management. You can instantly revoke access to the system if a key is accidentally exposed (e.g., posted on a public site) or potentially compromised, immediately cutting off any unauthorized users. Furthermore, key regeneration facilitates proactive security hygiene through regular key rotation, dramatically limiting the time window an attacker has to exploit a stolen credential, and is crucial for access control when team members or contractors who once held the key leave the organization.

To regenerate the Event Stream API key:

  1. Navigate to Integrations from the main menu.
  2. Select Event Stream API Key.
  3. Select REGENERATE API KEY.
  4. Finalize the Event Stream API Key regeneration using the confirmation modal.

Retrieving the Event Stream API key

To retrieve the Event Stream API key so that you can use it on a third-party system:

  1. Navigate to Integrations from the main menu.
  2. Select Event Stream API Key.
  3. Select 'Copy' () on the field displaying the Event Stream API Key.
  4. You can now use the Event Stream API key on a third-party system.
