API Keys

API keys let you connect Spectra to scripts, CI/CD, or automation tools. Keys are bound to the user who creates them and inherit that user’s permissions.

Create an API key

Section titled “Create an API key”

When you create a key, you can:

  • Add an optional name to identify the key later
  • Set an optional expiration in days

All keys start with spectra_ so they are easy to spot in logs and integrations.
