Get the Appium server URL

The Appium server URL is used for Appium automation testing. Select the Copy icon to add it to your clipboard.

Get an API key

A default API key is automatically generated when you create an account. Select the Copy icon to add a key to your clipboard. You can copy the key whether it is hidden or visible.

Show or hide an API key

API keys are hidden each time you open the API Keys page. Select the eye icon next to a key to show its value, then select the icon again to hide it.

Each key has its own control, so showing one key leaves the rest hidden. A key stays visible until you hide it or leave the page. Every key returns to the hidden state when you open the page again.

Create a new API key

To create a new API key, select Generate New API Key.

Rename an API key

To rename an API key, select the key’s current name, then enter a new one.
