Generate a new API key
Click Generate new API key in the top-right corner of the page.
- Give your API key a descriptive name (e.g. StackOne) and optionally set an expiration date.
- Ensure the key version is V2 — the connector requires a V2 key.
- Under Parameters, enable access to the data your integration needs (e.g. sensitive information such as SIN, salary and banking details, and personal information).
- Under Content of the API key, grant the required access levels (employees, custom fields, absences, overtime, vacation, balances, positions, departments, working sites, admin).

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret shown after generation.
