+API keys are used to authenticate REST calls. You can create more than one
+API key if required. Each API key has an optional description which can help
+you record what each key is used for.
+
+On this page, you can unrevoke, revoke and change the description of existing
+API keys for your login. A revoked key means that it cannot be used. The
+description for purely for your information, and is optional.
+
+You can also create a new API key by selecting the check box under the 'New
+API key' section of the page.
