Hi @razt28 ,

I believe you may be referring to a Custom Admin app (created from the admin) but I’m not 100% sure. You can refer to this guide on Custom Admin App on rotating or accessing API information. Also, you can refer to this help document on Custom Admin apps as well to help guide you.

Should you still be stuck, please reach out to our support team via chat / email to help guide you further!

Hope that helps!
