Managing Existing API Credentials – Sinch MessageMedia

If you've previously created REST or Legacy API Credentials, you can manage these right from the Hub. It's super simple to edit or delete existing API keys, as well as view and copy existing API Secrets.

Important - only account Administrators can create and manage API keys, users with Basic and Advanced account permissions won't allow you to configure these settings. Please contact your account administrator for assistance.

1. To manage your existing API Credentials, go to the menu and click on Menu Settings and select API Settings:

2. Then select the API tab:
