API Key Request Form

Streamline Developer Onboarding with an API Key Request Form

If you're running a SaaS platform, giving developers smooth, secure access to your API is essential. This API Key Request Form template from Paperform makes developer onboarding straightforward, capturing everything you need—from intended use cases to rate limit selection—in one professional, branded experience.

Built for SaaS teams who need control and clarity

Whether you're a product manager, developer relations lead, or CTO at a growing SaaS company, this template helps you standardize how developers request API credentials. Instead of managing access through support tickets or email threads, you get a structured intake form that collects technical requirements, validates agreement acceptance, and routes requests directly into your workflow.

Use conditional logic to show different rate limit options based on the developer's use case, and integrate with tools like Slack, Notion, or your CRM to notify your team instantly. With Paperform's Stepper workflow automation, you can even trigger API key generation, send welcome emails, and update your internal developer registry—all without writing code.

Why Paperform for developer onboarding?

Paperform is designed for SMBs and SaaS teams that want no-code flexibility with enterprise-grade security. This template includes fields for company information, technical contact details, intended use cases, and agreement acceptance, all styled to match your brand. Because Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant, you can trust it to handle sensitive developer requests securely.

The doc-style editor makes it simple to add code snippets, embed video walkthroughs, or link to your API documentation—turning your request form into a mini onboarding hub. And with built-in analytics and AI Insights, you can track which use cases are most popular and refine your API strategy accordingly.

Start collecting API key requests with confidence, automate developer access workflows, and keep your technical onboarding professional and scalable.
