API Access in Quip

What is Quip API Admin Access
For more scalable site-wide security workflows, access to the Admin API can be enabled either as a read-only privilege or a read-write privilege. Admins with either of these privileges can access all content and data on your company’s Quip site. Use cases where this level of programmatic access may be appropriate include integrations for eDiscovery, CASB, threat monitoring, and more.

How to get an API key
As a Quip Admin, you have access to Admin-created keys that provide read-only access to your entire Quip site (Site members can create personal access tokens themselves.)

If you want to make an automated process with access to all the documents on your Quip site:

• Navigate to the Admin Portal > Settings > Integrations > New API Key.

1. Go to the Admin Console > Site Settings > Admin Roles
2. Select Create New Role
3. Name Role and select your desired permissions for each category, including Admin API Access > Edit
4. Assign this Role to the Admin or Admins you would like to be able to manage API Access
5. That admin will see a new section in the Site Settings page of their admin console
6. Click Grant Access to provide access to a user entering email and access level
7. To edit or revoke access using the dropdown menu from the right of the user row

Permitted Scopes
As an Admin, you can also specify the API's access for both Admins and Users.

*Please Note: When you add or remove this access, all Super Admins will receive an email notifying them of the changed permissions.
