# API keys

## Description

Uploading calls to **Rdio Scanner** requires to have a valid *API key* to do so.

The *rdioScanner.apiKeys* property can be as simple as a single *key* to an *array of objects*.

If you are already familiar with the *rdioScanner.access* property, it works prety much the same.

```json
{
    "rdioScanner": {
        "apiKey": [
            {
                // [mandatory] The API key for the uploader.
                "key": "b29eb8b9-9bcd-4e6e-bb4f-d244ada12736",

                // [mandatory] the list of allowed systems to upload to.
                "systems": [
                    {
                        // the system ID.
                        "id": 1,

                        // the list of talkgroup IDs.
                        "talkgroups": [
                            1001,
                            1002
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}
```
