[API](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#api) April 26, 2023 # How do I use an API? ## Adding an API text opt-in to your website is a great way to promote database growth when you have some coding experience. The way to add an API integration differs per website platform, which is where the coding experience comes in handy. We recommend doing some research on how an API integration works in your website’s platform so you’re prepared. Please reach out to [support@taponit.com](mailto:support@taponit.com) to receive the latest API instruction document. Once you’re ready, you can access your TapOnIt API key by logging into your admin dashboard, clicking ‘Automations’ in the left sidebar, then clicking ‘API.’ Your API key may already be generated for you - just copy it! If it is not, click ‘Generate New API Key’ and set its permissions! After you’ve integrated your API key into your website, do not delete it in your TapOnIt admin dashboard. This will break the connection, requiring you to generate a new API key and update the old key to the new key in all places. Not sure if you want to add an API text opt-in to your website? An [opt-in widget](https://help.taponit.com/what-is-the-taponit-opt-in-widget?hsLang=en) might be a better option! Opt-in APIs are only available to Standard, Plus, and Pro plans.   - [General](https://help.taponit.com/general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Plans](https://help.taponit.com/general?hsLang=en#plans) - [Education](https://help.taponit.com/general?hsLang=en#education) - [Compliance](https://help.taponit.com/general?hsLang=en#compliance) - [Features](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#main-content) - [API](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#api) - [Campaigns](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#campaigns) - [Contact Card](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#contact-card) - [Content](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#content) - [Content Hub](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#content-hub) - [Coupons](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#coupons) - [Growth Tools](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#growth-tools) - [Flows & Keywords](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#flows-keywords) - [Media](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#media) - [Opt-In Widget](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#opt-in-widget) - [Targeting](https://help.taponit.com/features?hsLang=en#targeting) - [Analytics](https://help.taponit.com/analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Subscribers](https://help.taponit.com/analytics?hsLang=en#subscribers) - [Metrics](https://help.taponit.com/analytics?hsLang=en#metrics) - [Settings](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Set-Up](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#set-up) - [Tenant Name](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#tenant-name) - [Users](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#users) - [Billing](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#billing) - [Account](https://help.taponit.com/settings?hsLang=en#account) - [Integrations](https://help.taponit.com/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Shopify](https://help.taponit.com/integrations?hsLang=en#shopify) - [Punchh](https://help.taponit.com/integrations?hsLang=en#punchh) - [TapOnIt Releases](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [February 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#february-2024) - [May 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#may-2024) - [April 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#april-2024) - [June 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#june-2024) - [September 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#september-2024) - [October 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#october-2024) - [December 2024](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#december-2024) - [January 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#january-2025) - [April 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#april-2025) - [May 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#may-2025) - [July 1, 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#july-1-2025) - [September 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#september-2025) - [October 2025](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#october-2025) - [January 2026](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#january-2026) - [May 2026](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#may-2026) - [August 2026](https://help.taponit.com/taponit-releases?hsLang=en#august-2026) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.taponit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TOI_New_Logo_Horizontal%20(1).png?width=99&height=24&name=TOI_New_Logo_Horizontal%20(1).png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.taponit.com?hsLang=en) TapOnIt Help Center Copyright © 2026, TapOnIt
