Quick Start

Get Your API Key

Visit Fetchin Dashboard and create a free account. You’ll get 1,000 credits per month on the trial plan.

Get your API key

Once logged in, your API keys are listed on the dashboard. Click the eye icon to reveal one and copy it to your clipboard. You can create additional keys at any time — see Rotating your API key.

Keep your API key secure! Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

Rotating your API key

Your account can hold several keys at once, so you can roll over without any downtime:

Create the new key

In the dashboard, open API keys and click Create key. Give it a name you’ll recognise later, such as production. It becomes valid within about a minute, and your existing keys keep working the whole time.

Deploy it

Replace the old key in your environment variables or secret store and roll out your services. Both keys are live, so there is no window where requests fail.

Check the old key has gone quiet

The Last used column shows when each key last authenticated a request. Wait until the old key stops moving, and leave enough time to cover anything that runs only occasionally, such as a nightly job.

Revoke the old key

Revoke it from the dashboard. It stops working within about a minute, and anything still sending it will fail with 401 / INVALID_API_KEY.

Last used is updated every few minutes rather than in real time, and it counts every authenticated request — including ones rejected for quota or rate limits. Read it as “this key is still deployed somewhere”, not as an exact request log.

If a key has leaked, skip the waiting: revoke it immediately and create a replacement. Revoking cannot be undone — a revoked key can never be reinstated. Credits, usage history and your per-second rate limit belong to your account, not to an individual key. All of your keys draw on the same credit balance and share the same rate limit, so adding keys does not add capacity. Keys stay retrievable from the dashboard, so you can always come back and copy one again.

Posts come back in a page object, not a bare array. paginationToken feeds the next call and hasMore tells you when to stop — see Fetch Posts for the full walkthrough.
