Overview
API keys are used for private integrations with third-party tools like Make and n8n. This private API is not intended for public use without a supported integration. You can use it directly if you understand the implications, but it is designed for trusted workflows.Prerequisites
- Download the iOS or Android app
- Log in to your Hookr account
