Getting an API Key

To access the GraphQL API, users must obtain an API key from their Dema account settings. Follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to Settings in the Dema Application.
  2. Locate the API Keys section.
  3. Generate an API key and configure its expiration and scopes/access level.
  4. Copy the generated API key for use in your requests. (Note: The API key is only visible once when it is generated. If you lose it, you will need to generate a new one.)

​
Using Your API Key

Authentication is required for all requests and must be passed via the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer API_KEY

​
Example Request

Here’s how to include the key in a cURL request: 
curl -X POST https://api.dema.ai/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "query": "query OrganizationInfoQuery { account { id name } }"
  }'
Keep your API keys secure and never expose them in client-side code or public repositories. Treat API keys like passwords—rotate them regularly and revoke any keys that may have been compromised.

​
Best Practices

  • Setting expiration: When the API usage is limited to a specific time frame, it’s a good idea to set an expiration date, to avoid forever lasting API keys.
  • Scopes: Set appropriate access levels/scopes for each key, and avoid granting more access than necessary.
  • Revocation: Immediately revoke any tokens that may have been exposed or compromised, this can be done in the API key settings by either deactivating the key or deleting it.

​
API key policies

  • Any updates to API key configuration like status changes (active/inactive), last usage, expiration, or scope changes are reflected in real usage after a few minutes.
  • API keys are automatically removed if they are inactive and there hasn’t been any activity on them in the last 60 days.
  • API keys are removed 7 days after they expire.
