Create keys in the dashboard under **Developers → API Keys**. Each key only works from the server IPs listed on it (enforced since 14 October 2026). Keys don't expire and there's no login call or token refresh. Login tokens (`POST /auth/login` with an Account ID and App Secret, and `Authorization: Bearer`) have been discontinued and don't work for API requests. Endpoints that change how a person signs in (passkeys, two-factor authentication, PIN) or delete the account can't be called with an API key. Use the dashboard for those. API keys and IP whitelists can only be managed in the dashboard. **Rate limits** Per business account: 20 writes (`POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`) and 50 reads (`GET`) a second. Some plans set their own limit. Enterprise plans have no general limit. **Idempotency** Send an `Idempotency-Key` header on every `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` and `DELETE` request. A retry with the same key and body within 60 minutes returns the original response without running again. Reusing a key with a different body returns `409`. **KYC endpoints** are hosted on a separate platform at `https://kyc.yativo.com`.
