API Keys

Manage API keys scoped to this specific project

The API Keys page is where you create and manage keys scoped to this project. Project-scoped keys can only access resources in this project; for tenant-wide keys, use the org-level analogue.

For background on authentication, see Authentication.

What's on the page

A table of existing keys for this project:

ColumnNotes
NameYour descriptive label
Key prefixFirst 16 characters of the key (e.g. ss_secret_abc123...)
CreatedTimestamp
Last UsedWhen the key was last seen on a request
StatusActive / Revoked
ActionsRevoke (active keys only)

Revoked keys are kept in the table for the audit trail but they don't work anymore.

Creating a new key

Click Create key. A modal asks for:

FieldNotes
NameFor your reference (e.g. production-ingest)
PermissionsMulti-select from analysis:create, analysis:read, config:read, config:write

After creation, the full key value is shown once with a "Dismiss" button. Copy it immediately — there's no way to retrieve it again.

Store API keys in a secret manager. Don't commit them to git, paste into chat, or send via email.

Revoking

Click Revoke on any active key. After confirmation, the key stops working immediately. There's no soft-delete — once revoked, that's permanent.

Required role

ActionRequired permission
View listconfig:read
Create keyconfig:write
Revokeconfig:write

Best practices

  • Rotate periodically — every 90 days is a reasonable cadence
  • Use a new key per integration — easier to identify and revoke one without breaking others
  • Grant minimum permissions — server-to-server analysis ingestion doesn't need config:write
  • Track lastUsedAt — keys that haven't been used in months are prime candidates for revocation
