API key authentication

API keys are the recommended way to authenticate programmatic requests. Pass your key in the X-API-Key request header.
API keys are scoped to an organization. All resources created or accessed using a key belong to that organization.

Create an API key

Create keys in the dashboard under Settings โ†’ API Keys. The full key is shown only once at creation time โ€” store it immediately in a secrets manager or environment variable.
For self-hosted deployments using local auth, sign up and log in via the dashboard first, then create an API key there before making API calls.

Manage API keys

Archiving a key immediately revokes it. All subsequent requests using that key return 401.
