Access Keys are authentication tokens used to securely access your project’s APIs. They allow your applications or services to interact with the platform without exposing sensitive user credentials.

​
Key Benefits

  • Secure Access: access keys are tied to specific projects and can be scoped to restrict access to only the necessary endpoints or actions.
  • Environment Isolation: Generate different keys for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production) to prevent accidental cross-environment interactions.
  • Easy Integration: Include access keys in your requests to authenticate seamlessly with our APIs.

​
Best Practices

  • Keep Keys Secret: Never expose your keys in client-side code or public repositories.
  • Rotate Regularly: Periodically regenerate your access keys to reduce the risk of misuse.
  • Use Read/Write Scopes Wisely: Assign the minimum required permissions to each key.

​
Common Use Cases

  • Connecting backend services to your content pipeline.
  • Authenticating webhook requests.
  • Automating content creation or updates via scripts or CI/CD pipelines.
