Activating an API Key in the BIT web portal

You can create and share BIT API keys from the web portal at blueinktech.com

 

To activate a new API key, log in to your Blue Ink Tech administrator account at blueinktech.com.

Click on the circle with your initial in the upper right corner, then select Account Settings.

Expand the "API keys" section of the menu and click to add a new key. Fill in all the fields.

We recommend naming the key for who will be using it, such as your broker or 3rd party software.

Select the key type that works best for you. Read only will let other applications request data from your account, which is the type needed for sharing location data with a broker. Read/Write will let other applications add data to your account, which is much less commonly needed.

Finally, select the correct carrier. Then click the SUBMIT button.

The new API Key is activated and ready to use. Click anywhere on the key to copy it to your clipboard to easily paste it in a 3rd party site or email.

All the keys listed here are active. Simply delete the key to deactivate it and cut off 3rd party access to your account data.
