API keys and credentials

​

Create an API key

You can only create and manage keys if you’re a Next Matter admin.

1. Go to Company > Next Matter API keys.
2. In the top-right corner, click + Create API key.
3. Enter the name for the key and select the user to whom the key will be assigned.
4. (Optional) To set the expiry date for the key, select the Add expiry date checkbox and select the date and time. If the expiry date hasn’t been set, the key will not have a default expiry date.

5. Click Create API key.
6. Copy the key and click Done.

​

Update a key

You can re-assign the key to another user or update the expiry date. To update the key, click the pencil icon and edit the data.

​

Delete or revoke key

To delete or revoke a key, click the … (three dots) to the right of the key data and select the action. Before you delete or revoke, ensure there is no integration using this key. Otherwise, the integration step will fail.

Once you revoke or delete the key, you can’t activate it again.

​

Public API and rate limiting

You will find the list of parameters for the Next Matter API calls here. Due to rate limiting, you can make a maximum of 100 requests per minute.

​

Custom credentials

To ensure credentials are secure and encrypted, and maintain compliance, we can store your organization’s access credentials that you use for custom integrations in an encrypted database. We can store the following credentials for you:

• Basic: username and password
• Bearer: token
• API key: API prefix and token

Custom credentials will be available in the Authorization dropdown when you configure your custom integration. You can provide a name for the credentials so that they are easily recognizable.
