Sign-in, keys and limits
An AI app signs in to Buzzmark on a Buzzmark page in your browser, where you press Allow, and from then on it works as you until you disconnect it.
Apps that can't sign in use an API key from the AI apps page, shown once and sent as a Bearer header.
Every Buzzmark account gets 30 tool calls a minute and 1,000 a day over all its apps and keys together, and writing and pictures also count against the plan's monthly amounts.
Sign in an app
1. Add Buzzmark in your app. The first time it needs Buzzmark, it opens a Buzzmark page in your browser.
2. If you aren't logged in to Buzzmark in that browser, log in with the code we email you. The page comes back after.
3. Check the account the page names and what the app will be able to do, then press Allow.
4. You go back to the app, and it can start.
An account without a plan goes to choosing one first, and an account that hasn't finished setting up goes through onboarding first. Both come back to the same page. Cancel sends you back to the app with no access.
The app gets its own tokens and never sees your password. Buzzmark keeps only a fingerprint of each token.
How long sign-in lasts
| An app's sign-in, before it renews itself | 1 hour |
|---|---|
| Staying connected without signing in again | 90 days |
| The one-time code an app swaps for its sign-in | 10 minutes |
| An upload page for a file from your computer or phone | 30 minutes |
| An uploaded file, before it's added to a Buzz | 55 minutes |
The app renews its access by itself with the refresh token, and each renewal gives it a new refresh token for the full time again. An app you don't use for that long asks you to sign in again.
Make an API key
1. Open AI apps and go to API keys.
2. Type a name that says where the key goes, such as the workflow's name, and press Make a key.
3. Press Copy and paste the key where it's used, then press Done.
Buzzmark keeps only a fingerprint of the key and its last 4 characters, so it can't show the key again. The list shows each key by its name and the characters it ends with. If you lose a key, revoke it and make a new one.
The app sends the key on every request as Authorization: Bearer followed by the key. A key works as you until you revoke it. Make one key per app or workflow, so revoking one stops only that one.
Disconnect an app or revoke a key
1. Open AI apps.
2. For an app, press Disconnect next to it under Connected apps, then Disconnect it.
3. For a key, press Revoke next to it under API keys, then Revoke it.
It stops working within a minute. Each row shows when it was connected and when it was last used, so you can see which ones you no longer use. To use a disconnected app again, add Buzzmark in it again and sign in.
When someone is removed from your organization, or their seat is locked, their apps and keys stop working too. See Invite your team.
Limits
Your Buzzmark account gets 30 tool calls a minute and 1,000 a day, counted over every connected app and key together. These counts apply on every plan and include reads.
Writing, pictures, Hive checks and Scout runs also use your plan's monthly amounts, the same as in the app. When something runs out, the app tells you what ran out and when it starts again. An account without an active plan can't be used from an AI app.
