API Key Permissions

Twilio SendGrid API keys are 69 characters long. We are unable to make exceptions for third-party infrastructure that is unable to support a key of 69 characters.

API Keys can be used to authenticate the use of SendGrid’s v3 API. API Keys may be assigned certain permissions, or scopes, that limit which API endpoints they are able to access.

The following is a complete list of all possible permissions that you may assign to an API Key.
