API Keys

Create a scoped API key

Create a new API key restricted to a subset of scopes. The returned value is the only opportunity to retrieve the plaintext secret — store it securely. This endpoint does not accept an Idempotency-Key header; each call creates a new key.

Callers may only grant scopes they themselves hold (scope subsetting). Unrestricted keys may create scoped keys; scoped keys need the api_key:create scope. Up to 500 scoped keys may exist per developer.
