Set up credentials
You generate an API access key and secret from your Gong settings. Only a Gong technical administrator can create API credentials.1
Open Company Settings
Log in to Gong as a technical admin and open Company Settings (called
Admin Center in newer versions).
2
Open the API page
In the Ecosystem section, select API, then open the API Keys tab.
3
Generate the key
Click Get API Key (or Create) to generate a new credential pair.
4
Copy the access key and secret
Copy the Access Key and the Access Key Secret and store them
securely. The secret is shown only once, so if you lose it you must generate
a new pair.
Gong uses these credentials for Basic authentication. The access key acts as
the username and the secret acts as the password.

Security
- Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256
- The credentials are scoped to the permissions of the admin who generated them, so grant only the API scopes your use case needs
- Rotate the key pair periodically and regenerate it immediately if it is exposed
- Never share the access key or secret publicly or commit them to source control
