Overview

To authenticate with DocuGenerate, you need:
  1. Region — the DocuGenerate API host for the region where your templates and documents are processed.
  2. API Key — your DocuGenerate API key.
This guide will show you how to get them.

Prerequisites

  • A DocuGenerate account. The Free plan includes full API access, and you can sign up without a credit card.

Step 1: Choose your region

DocuGenerate processes templates and documents in the region whose API host you call. Select the value for your region: See Can I use regional API endpoints? for details.

Step 2: Generate an API key

Your account has a single API key, and generating a new one immediately stops the current key from working. If you already have a key in use, don’t generate a new one: open Settings → Developers and copy the existing key with the copy icon (step 4).
  1. Log in to DocuGenerate.
  2. Open Settings and select the Developers tab. If you don’t have a key yet, click Generate API Key.
