How to generate an API key on Lessonspace

Lessonspace uses hashed API keys, which are a secure and industry-standard approach.

You or a developer may need to generate an API key to connect Lessonspace to other systems or to your own custom setup.

To generate an API key, go to Settings > Developer (https://www.thelessonspace.com/settings/developer)

Here, click "Generate a new key." Make sure that you copy that key as it will not be shown on the dashboard again.

You can revoke and generate a new key as needed.

FAQ

What is an API key?

An API key allows another system (such as a custom website, app, or integration) to connect to Lessonspace.

How do I know if I'm using one?

If you primarily use the Lessonspace dashboard, you are likely not using an API key. If you have a custom integration or developer setup, you may be using one.

Why can't I generate an API key?

Note that only account owners and developer roles can generate a new API key. If you have any issues or need permissions to generate a key for your organisation, please reach out to us at support@thelessonspace.com
