Authentication#

Phantombuster uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Phantombuster account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Phantombuster APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Your API key resides in your Phantombuster Org settings page. This page is also accessible through your navbar's menu, under the label "Org settings". Please notice that for security reasons, you key will only be shown once, on creation. You better copy it in a safe place before refreshing or leaving the page.

For more info, refer to Phantombuster's API documentation.
