An API key is a token that a client provides when making API calls. It is used for Authentication. This Integration Key must be included in the request header for all API calls.
Why do I need an API token?
The Whatfix web app uses a username and password for validating users. When using Whatfix APIs, API Key and API token are the equivalents of the username and password required to authenticate a user.
Whatfix needs your API token to validate each request. Each user in an enterprise has a different API token. The Whatfix system needs to know who you are connecting with and the actions they do with their account.
