# Creating API Credentials

## Step by step guide to creating OAuth API credentials for your organisation.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Navigate to Organisation Settings

Go to your Organisation Settings by clicking on the Settings menu in the top navigation, then clicking on Organisation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the API Access tab

Click on the **API Access** tab in the settings navigation bar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a new API credential

Click the **New API Credential** button in the right hand menu. Enter a name that describes how the credential will be used (for example, "Reporting Dashboard" or "CRM Sync") and click **Create**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Copy your credentials

After creation you will be shown your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Copy both values and store them securely.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Client Secret is only shown once. If you navigate away from this page, the secret cannot be retrieved. You would need to delete the credential and create a new one.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Deleting a credential

To revoke access, go to the API Access tab, click the dropdown menu on the credential row, and select **Delete**. This immediately revokes all access tokens issued to that credential.
