API Keys

API keys are non-human identities — credentials that let external systems and integrations talk to S-Launch programmatically, without a person logging in.

Like users, an API key carries scopes (directly or through a role (scope set)) that determine what it can do. Keep a key's scopes as narrow as the integration needs.

Requests authenticate by sending the key in the X-API-Key header — see Authentication for usage.
