Sites and keys

Sites

A site is one website you protect. Add as many as you like; plans count checks, not sites.

1. Open Sites → Add a site in the dashboard.
2. Enter the website’s address.
3. The site starts in shadow mode for seven days.

Each site has its own page with its decisions, its rules, its keys, its mode and a Download the plugin button.

Keys

A key connects a website or app to one site in your account. Create keys on the site’s page with Create key.

Key	Starts with	Behavior
Live key	cv_live_	Checked for real, counted, and acts.
Test key	cv_test_	Fixed answers, never counted. Use it on staging sites and while building.

A key is shown once, when it’s created. Copy it then. Cayve stores only a keyed hash of each key, so nobody, including us, can show it to you again.

Revoking a key

Press Revoke next to a key on the site’s page. It stops working within a minute. Create a new key and paste it into the plugin (Cayve → Settings → API key) or your app.

Revoke a key straight away if it may have been exposed, for example if it was pasted somewhere public.

Moving a site

To move a website to a new address, update the site’s address on its page. The key keeps working, so the plugin doesn’t need changing.
