Create private apps

With our public API key, you can connect Watermelon with external applications. In this article, we explain how to do this.

• Go to your Settings.
• Go to Private Apps.
• Click Create new private app.
• Name your private app.
• Select the read and write permissions of the private app. This determines whether the data is read and/or added to the database.
• Click Create.
• Then the API key and the Secret key are generated. Click on the code to copy it to your clipboard.

• Click Complete. You will now be given the option to download the API key and the Secret key as a PDF document.
  
  So, done! You will now find the API key in the overview.
