Configure API Access
On this page
To access the Cloud Manager API using applications, generate an API key for your organization.
Note
API Keys can't use the Cloud Manager Console
Organization-based API Keys aren't associated with user credentials. You can't use these API Keys to log in to the Cloud Manager console.
Prerequisite
(Optional) Require an API Access List for Your Organization
Cloud Manager allows your Cloud Manager Administration API keys to make requests from any address on the internet unless you require an IP access list for the Cloud Manager Administration API. If you require an IP access list, your API keys can make API requests only from the location-based IP or CIDR addresses that you specify in the IP access list.
Each API key has its own IP access list. If you require an IP access list for all Cloud Manager Administration API requests, you must define at least one IP access list entry for an API key before you can use the API key.
When you create a new organization using the Cloud Manager UI, Cloud Manager enables the API access list requirement by default. To disable the IP access list requirement when you create an organization, toggle Require IP Access List for Cloud Manager Administration API to OFF when you create an organization.
To set your organization to require IP access lists for every Cloud Manager Administration API key after organization creation, follow these steps:
In MongoDB Cloud Manager, go to the Organization Settings page.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
Click the Organization Settings icon next to the Organizations menu.
The Organization Settings page displays.
Manage Access to the API
You can set API Keys for an entire organization or project.
