Get API Key

Each request to prefs.is API requires a valid API Key (API Token). Here you can create your key ahead of time for further and subsequent use.

Generate Key via API

Keys can be generated via the /getkey API

https://prefs.us/getkey/?user=[key name|id]&seed=[my secret seed phrase]

Response:

{
  "status": "success",
  "token": "38c26...7cb1",
  "ts": "2025-10-29 12:58:52",
  "message": "New key generated."
}

The token is your API key. The response will include a hint whether it is a new or an existing token (message field).

HINT: For security reasons, generated keys could be stored as a system variable on the server side.

IMPORTANT!

Remember to safely store away your secret key-id and seed-phrase as there is no way to retrieve them if a key is lost. You may loose ability to recover your data should the key be lost. All data will then be purged after a period of inactivity.
