   • API keys are generated from the Postman Admin Portal.

5. Does each agency get 1 API key for all systems or each system can request to get their separate unique API key?

   • API keys are tied to each campaign, each campaigns can have up to 3 API keys. The number of keys will depend on the number of campaigns your agency has generated for your system.

6. What forms of authentication will you use for connecting via API?
