Keys

Updated

A key gives access to the API at the organisation level via its token attribute. It is allowed to interact with all API endpoints on behalf of its organisation.

A key is generated for each newly created organisation.

Attributes

name type description
id key ID Resource identifier.
resource string, always key Resource type specifier.
organisation organisation ID The organisation this key belongs to.
type string One of: standard, trial.
config nested object Key-specific configuration settings.
storage_config optional, storage config ID The storage config used by the key.
webhook_config optional, webhook config ID The webhook config used by the key.
token string The auth material for this key. Is used to populate the AUTHORIZATION HTTP header in requests against the API.
state string One of: active, deactivated, blocked, expired.
date_created datetime When the resource was created.
date_expires optional, datetime When the key will expire. Mainly applies to trial type keys.

Types

standard
the key type. Every organisation has at least one of these.
trial
a key generated by an API administrator to give the organisation trial access to additional permissions. These will typically have the date_expires field set.

Configuration

Key-level configuration can be set on the config attribute of the key. For the moment, this only accepts publish_source_files, related to the source file publishing mechanism.

Storage and webhook configs

A key resource can override the organisation default values for storage and webhook config. This can be helpful to split results and event notification between environments like dev and production.

Token

The value of a key's token attribute can be used to authenticate against the API on behalf of the owning organisation.

These values should be stored securely and never exposed publicly.

State

active
the key's standard state.
deactivated
the owning organisation has disabled the key.
blocked
the key has been disabled by an API admin.
expired
the key is disabled as the trial period has passed.
