Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

API key for authentication

Headers

Idempotency-Key
string

Optional idempotency key for safe request retries. Must be a unique string for each logical request. Requests with the same key will return the same response. Keys for non-secret responses expire after 24 hours. API-key create responses include a one-time secret_key, so their encrypted replay responses expire after 5 minutes.

Maximum string length: 255

Path Parameters

account_id
string<uuid>
required

Parent account ID

sub_account_id
string<uuid>
required

Sub account ID

Body

application/json
label
string
required

Human-readable label for the API key; must not be empty

Required string length: 1 - 255
scopes
string[]
required

Array of scope strings to grant to this API key

Minimum array length: 1

Response

Sub-account API key created successfully

object
enum<string>
required

Object type identifier

Available options:
api_key
id
string<uuid>
required

Unique identifier for the API key

created_at
string<date-time>
required

When the API key was created

updated_at
string<date-time>
required

When the API key was last updated

account_id
string<uuid>
required

Account ID this API key belongs to

label
string
required

Human-readable label for the API key

public_key
string
required

Public portion of the API key

scopes
object[]
required

Scopes granted to this API key

last_used_at
string<date-time> | null

When the API key was last used (updates every 5-10 minutes)

secret_key
string

Secret key. Only returned when an API key is created, including exact idempotent replays of create requests within the 5-minute secret-bearing replay window. Store it immediately; list, get, update, and delete responses omit it.
