Summary

From 15 October 2026, integrations must call the Yativo API with an API key, not a login token. The old login with account_id + app_secret stops working for server-to-server calls on that date, and will be removed later.

Three things change for integrators:

Why: legacy API keys tie server access to a single account-wide secret. API keys are separate from any person's login, can be revoked one at a time, and are tied to known server IPs.


Timeline

When What changes
Now API keys and passkeys are live. Create keys, test in sandbox, add passkeys.
Midnight, 14 October 2026 IP whitelists are enforced. Requests from IPs not on the key are rejected.
15 October 2026 Legacy login cut off. Server calls need API keys; login tokens only work in the dashboard.
Date to be announced auth/login with app secret and generate-secret are removed.

Integrators can switch today. On 15 October 2026, login tokens stop working from servers, so any integration still on the old login breaks. The old endpoints are removed later, on a date still to be announced.


API keys

An API key is a pair of values that lets your servers call Yativo without logging in. Send both on every request:

X-Api-Key: yativo_pk_...
X-Api-Secret: yativo_sk_...
API key API secret
Header X-Api-Key X-Api-Secret
Starts with yativo_pk_ yativo_sk_
Visible later Yes, in the dashboard No. Shown once, when the key is created

Create a key

  1. Sign in to the dashboard at https://app.yativo.com.
  2. Go to Developers → API Keys.
