How to Get Your ContentStudio API Key

1 Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner, and select the API Key option from the dropdown menu.

2 Click on Generate API Key and copy your unique API key.

You can now use this API key wherever required, such as in Zapier, Make.com, or when connecting with other integrations.

3 Click on the three dots next to your API key. You’ll see two options:

  • Regenerate: Create a new API key if your current one is compromised or you want to reset access.
  • Revoke: Permanently disable the existing API key if it’s no longer needed.


Authentication

Authenticate all requests with your API key in the request header. For a complete list of available endpoints and examples, see the ContentStudio API Guide.

Header format:

X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>

Example using cURL:

cURL -H "X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
https://api.contentstudio.io/api/v1/me

This authenticates your request and grants access to API endpoints.

Delete Post

Delete a post by its unique ID. When a delete request is made, ContentStudio handles deletion on two levels:

  • Native Platform – The post is removed directly from the social platform (e.g., Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube) where it was published, provided the platform supports deletion via API.
  • ContentStudio – The post record is removed from your ContentStudio workspace.

Not all platforms support deletion via API. In cases where a platform does not support it, the post will remain live on the native platform but will still be removed from ContentStudio. See the Platform-Level Limitations section below for a full breakdown.

Endpoint: DELETE /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/posts/{post_id}                 

cURL Example:

cURL -X DELETE "https://api.contentstudio.io/api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/posts/{post_id}" \

Example Value
{
  "delete_from_social": true,
  "account_ids": [

Best Practices

  • Keep it safe: Never share your API key publicly.
  • Rotate if needed: You can revoke and regenerate keys anytime from settings.
  • Use only where needed: Paste the key only into trusted platforms or integrations.

How to View Your API Request Logs

1 Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner, and go to API Key. Then click on Request Log to open the API log page.

2 Use the Methods dropdown to filter your requests by GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE.

3 Use the Statuses dropdown to filter requests by Success (2xx), Client Error (4xx), or Server Error (5xx).

4 Once filters are applied, click the Export CSV button to download your API request logs.


FAQs

Q1. Where can I use the ContentStudio API key?

You can use it to authenticate integrations with tools like Zapier, Make.com, or directly when making API requests.

Q2. Can I generate multiple API keys?

No, only one active API key is available per account at a time.

Q3. What happens if I regenerate my API key?

The old key will stop working immediately, and you’ll need to update the new key anywhere you were using it (Zapier, Make.com, custom apps, etc.).

Q4. What happens if I revoke my API key?

Revoking permanently disables the key. Any integrations using it will stop working until you generate a new one.

Q5. Is my API key private?

Yes. Treat it like a password — never share it publicly or expose it in client-side code.
