Account & API keys

Your GuidMe account lets you manage apps, documents, billing, referral access, and API keys.

Account settings

From the dashboard or user menu you can:

• Update your profile details (name, email, avatar)
• Manage notification preferences
• View and manage your subscription (see Billing)
• Open the referral program from Profile or Organization > Subscription

API keys

Each app has its own API key (starts with gm_live_). You use this key in the widget so it can connect to your app:

<script
  src="https://widget.guidme.ai/v1/loader.js"
  data-key="gm_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
></script>

• Widget keys — Use only in the browser for the embeddable widget. They are restricted by allowed origins.
• Do not use admin or backend keys in the widget. Use only the key shown in the app’s widget snippet.

Security

• Keep API keys private. Do not commit them to public repos or share them in screenshots.
• Use allowed origins in the app settings so the widget works only on your domains.
• If a key is exposed, regenerate it in the app settings and update your integration.

Backend API

If you call the GuidMe backend API (e.g. for server-side or custom integrations), you authenticate with an API key in the request. Use the key that matches the app or environment you are calling for. Backend API details are in the backend’s own docs when deployed.
