Generate your API keys
To generate your API keys for the Forms API or KYB API, follow the steps below:
You need to have an API subscription with bronID and Administrator access to generate your API keys.
API Key Setup
- Navigate to API keys - Log in to your bronID account and go to Settings > Developers > API keys.
- Configure your Custom verification key – The Custom verification key is a URL path where your customers can submit KYC verifications. You can use your company name or a custom string as the verification key (e.g.,
mycompanyname). - Configure the Service name – The Service name is the name of your business or service as it will be displayed to your customers when they access the KYC forms (e.g.,
My Company Name). - Generate your API keys – Click the "Create secret key" button to generate your API keys. These keys should be kept secret as they can be used to submit KYC verifications. You can enable or disable API keys by using the options menu to the right of each key.
Important: Your bronID API keys can be used to access sensitive information. Therefore, they must always be kept secret. You should never commit them to your version control system repository (such as Git) and use environment variables (e.g. via .env files) to store and use them.
Never expose your API keys in client-side code.
Never share your API keys in any communication, such as email, chat or similar.
