Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate a SurveyMonkey API key in minutes.

Quick summary

To get a SurveyMonkey API key, you need to create a new app in the SurveyMonkey API Developer Portal — once the app is created, your API key is automatically generated and ready to use.

Steps

After logging in, visit the SurveyMonkey API Developer Portal.
Select Apps & Integrations from the menu.
Go to the Develop tab.
Click on Create New App.
Fill in the required details — app nickname, creator, and app type — then click Create App.
Once your app is created, locate the API key associated with it on the app overview page.

📌 Why this matters

The SurveyMonkey API enables developers and teams to programmatically access survey data, automate responses, and integrate survey workflows into their own applications. Getting your SurveyMonkey API key is the essential first step to unlocking these integrations and building custom data pipelines. Without a valid API key, third-party tools and automation platforms cannot authenticate with SurveyMonkey to pull or push data. This demo removes the guesswork by showing the exact steps to generate your API key through the SurveyMonkey Developer Portal.
