Every request carries an organization API key as a bearer token:

Creating and revoking keys

Organization admins create keys in the app under Settings → Team → API keys, give each one a name and an optional expiry, and can revoke any key at any time. Any member can see the list (name, prefix, creator, last used); only admins create and revoke. A workspace can hold up to 25 active keys. The secret is shown once, at creation. Ekly stores only a hash, so a lost key cannot be recovered; revoke it and create a new one.

Environments

A key is bound to the environment and organization it was created in.

What a key can reach

A key calls the /v1 endpoints and nothing else. Requests to any other path return 403 with code api_key_scope. Sessions for the app itself stay separate.

Who gets billed

Generations charge your organization’s credits as the person who created the key, so if your workspace sets per-member credit caps, the creator’s cap applies to the key. If the creator leaves the organization, their keys stop working on the next request.

Keeping keys safe

  • Load the key from an environment variable or a secret manager; never commit it.
  • Create one key per integration so a leak can be revoked without breaking the others.
  • Set an expiry for keys used in short-lived jobs.
  • If a key leaks, revoke it in Settings → Team first; rotation beats cleanup.
