Find your customer number

Your customer number (Kundennummer) identifies your coveto instance and forms its URL.

  • Check your browser address bar when signed in to coveto.
  • Format: https://{customer-number}.coveto.de
  • Example: if your URL is https://k01234.coveto.de, your customer number is k01234 (it always starts with k).

​
Create a REST API key

Generate an API key in coveto and assign it access rights per resource. Use a separate API key per project or integration.

1

Open the REST API settings

Sign in to your coveto account.

  • Navigate to Einstellungen (Settings) > REST API.
  • Click Neu (New) to start creating a key.
2

Configure the key and save it

Set the developer contact details and the access rights the integration needs.

  • Enter your developer contact details (used for security incident support).
  • For each endpoint, choose an access level: none (no access), read (GET), write (GET, POST, PATCH), or delete (all methods including DELETE).
  • Grant only the endpoints and levels your integration requires.
  • Optionally restrict the key to a specific server IP address for added security.
  • Click Speichern (Save).
  • Copy the API key immediately — it is shown only once and then stored encrypted. Store it securely for use later.
