wordpress/API Key Setup

API Key Setup

Your API key connects your WordPress site to Intufind's cloud services, enabling semantic search, AI chat assistant, and product recommendations.

Getting Your API Key

  1. Create an account at intufind.com
  2. Start your free trial or choose a plan
  3. Go to Dashboard → API Keys
  4. Click Create New Key and copy your API key

Your API key starts with itf_ and looks like: itf_live_abc123xyz...

Connecting Your Site

  1. Go to Intufind in your WordPress admin menu
  2. You'll land on the API Key tab
  3. Paste your API key into the API Key field
  4. Optionally check Automatically index content after connecting
  5. Click Save API Key

Auto-Sync on Connection

When you check "Automatically index content after connecting," Intufind will immediately begin indexing your public content. This creates the AI knowledge base that powers:

  • Intelligent Search — Find content by meaning, not just keywords
  • AI Chat — Answer visitor questions about your content
  • Smart Recommendations — Suggest relevant products or posts

What Gets Indexed

Intufind takes a privacy-first approach and only indexes publicly available content:

IndexedNot Indexed
Published postsDraft posts
Published pagesPrivate content
Products (WooCommerce)User data
Categories & tagsPersonal information
Custom post types (configurable)Password-protected content

You have full control over which content types are indexed via the Indexing tab.

Connection Status

After saving your API key, you'll see:

  • ✓ Connected — Your API key is valid and all features are enabled
  • ✗ Invalid API Key — Check your API key or subscription status

The status also shows your current plan (e.g., "Starter plan", "Pro plan").

Clearing Your API Key

To disconnect your site (e.g., to use a different API key):

  1. Go to Intufind → API Key
  2. Click Clear API Key
  3. Confirm the action

Clearing your API key disconnects from cloud services. Your indexed content will be retained for 30 days in case you reconnect.

Managing API Keys

You can manage all your API keys from your Intufind Dashboard:

  • Create new keys for different sites
  • Revoke keys that are no longer needed
  • Label keys to identify which site uses which key

Best practice: Use a separate API key for each WordPress site.

Troubleshooting

API key not working

  • Ensure the key is copied correctly (should start with itf_)
  • Verify your subscription is active at intufind.com/dashboard
  • Check that your server can make outbound HTTPS requests

Features not working after connecting

  • Wait 1-2 minutes for initial sync to complete
  • Check the Status page for any errors
  • Ensure your content types are enabled in Indexing

"Invalid API Key" error

  • The key may have been revoked — check your dashboard
  • Your subscription may have expired — check billing status
  • Try generating a new API key from the dashboard
