How to Request an API Key

If you’re working with a new vendor who has a VAN integration, you’ll need to request an API Key for that vendor. 


Note: Only the top level user for a committee can request an API Key. Field Director or Data Director


  1. Under the administrative menu in VAN, select “Integrations” then “API Integrations.”


  1. In the top right, select “Request an API Key”

  1. Select the Integration for your vendor from the dropdown menu

  1. Once your request is approved, go back to the Integrations page, scroll to that particular integration, and select “Generate API Key”





  1. Copy the API Key and either enter it into the service you are using or send it to the vendor’s tech team/account rep, depending on their workflow. 

    1. DO NOT send an API Key in a plain text email. Use onetimesecret.com if you need to transfer a highly sensitive credential electronically.
