The Revont API uses API key authentication. You generate a key from your workspace settings and include it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of every request. There are no sessions, cookies, or OAuth flows — each request is independently authenticated using the key you provide.
Treat API keys as secrets. Never commit them to version control, embed them in client-side code, or share them in public channels. If a key is compromised, delete it immediately from Settings → API → API Keys and issue a new one.

​
Generating an API Key

1

Open your API key settings

In your Revont workspace, navigate to Settings → API → API Keys.
2

Create a new key

Click New API Key to open the key creation dialog.
3

Name the key and select a scope

Give the key a descriptive name — for example, Production integration or Analytics pipeline — so you can identify it later. Then select a scope:
  • Read-only — for integrations that only need to pull data
  • Read-write — for integrations that also manage webhooks or other resources
See API key scopes for the full breakdown of what each scope permits.
4

Copy your key

Click Create. Copy the API key immediately and store it somewhere secure, such as a secrets manager or environment variable. The full key is only shown once — Revont stores only a hashed version after this point.

​
Using Your API Key

Include your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of every request. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you generated.
cURL
curl https://api.revont.ai/v1/calls \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Python
import requests

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
response = requests.get("https://api.revont.ai/v1/calls", headers=headers)
print(response.json())
If you omit the header or provide an invalid key, the API returns 401 Unauthorized: 
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Missing or invalid API key."
  }
}

​
API Key Scopes

When you create a key, you choose between two scopes that control what the key can do:
ScopeDescription
Read-onlyCan retrieve calls, summaries, action items, and contacts. Cannot create, update, or delete webhooks or other resources.
Read-writeFull access — can retrieve and modify all resources, and manage webhooks (create, list, delete).
Use the most restrictive scope your integration needs. If you later need broader access, create a new key with the appropriate scope rather than upgrading an existing one.

​
Rotating Keys

To rotate an API key without downtime, follow these steps:
  1. Generate a new key in Settings → API → API Keys.
  2. Update your integration’s environment variables or secrets manager to use the new key.
  3. Verify your integration is working correctly with the new key.
  4. Delete the old key from Settings → API → API Keys.
This approach ensures your integration stays authenticated throughout the rotation process.
API keys are workspace-scoped — they only provide access to data in the workspace where they were created. If your organization uses multiple Revont workspaces, you need a separate key for each.
