An API key connects a third-party system with a specific ForeFlight Dispatch account. To generate API keys in ForeFlight Dispatch using an Administrator account, follow these steps:
- Select the Tools tab.
- Select the API Console tab.
- Click Generate API Key in the top right corner. The key will be added to the list.
- Select Copy and save the key in a secure place. Keys are not shown again and cannot be retrieved once generated.
- Select Edit next to the key.
- Provide a description of the key.
- Select Save.
The console displays each key’s creation details and current status (Active or Revoked).
IMPORTANT: API keys provide full access to ForeFlight data through the Dispatch API and should remain confidential. If a key’s security is compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one to maintain secure access.
