unkey_livenessread-onlyCheck that the Unkey API is reachable and the root key works. The only GET in the v2 surface. Unkey: GET /v2/liveness.
unkey_get_keyread-onlyFetch a key's metadata by its key id — name, owner, permissions, credits, rate limits and whether it is enabled. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.getKey.
unkey_whoami_keyread-onlyGiven a plaintext API key, return which key it is and its metadata — without spending credits or recording a verification. This is the safe way to identify a key a customer sent you. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.whoami.
unkey_get_apiread-onlyFetch an API namespace by id. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.getApi.
unkey_list_api_keysread-onlyList every key issued under one API, optionally narrowed to a single customer by externalId. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.listKeys.
unkey_list_identitiesread-onlyList identities — the end users or organisations your keys belong to. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.listIdentities.
unkey_get_identityread-onlyFetch a single identity with its metadata and shared rate limits. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.getIdentity.
unkey_list_permissionsread-onlyList the permissions defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listPermissions.
unkey_list_rolesread-onlyList the roles defined in the workspace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/permissions.listRoles.
unkey_list_ratelimit_overridesread-onlyList the per-identifier overrides in one rate-limit namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.listOverrides.
unkey_get_ratelimit_overrideread-onlyFetch the override for one identifier in a namespace. Read-only despite being a POST. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.getOverride.
unkey_query_verification_analyticsread-onlyRun a read-only SQL query over key-verification analytics. The query must use one of the public aliases: key_verifications_v1, key_verifications_per_minute_v1, key_verifications_per_hour_v1, key_verifications_per_day_v1 or key_verifications_per_month_v1. Physical default.* table names are rejected, and results are scoped to your workspace. Unkey: POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications.
unkey_create_apican modifyCreate a new API namespace to issue keys under. Unkey: POST /v2/apis.createApi.
unkey_create_keycan modifyIssue a new API key under an API. The plaintext key is returned ONCE in the response and cannot be retrieved later unless recoverable is set. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.createKey.
unkey_update_keycan modifyChange a key's name, owner, metadata, expiry, roles, permissions or enabled state. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateKey.
unkey_update_key_creditscan modifySet, increment or decrement a key's remaining credits. Use set with no value for unlimited. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.updateCredits.
unkey_delete_keycan modifyRevoke a key. By default this is a soft delete the key stops working but stays queryable; pass permanent to erase it. Unkey: POST /v2/keys.deleteKey.
unkey_create_identitycan modifyCreate an identity — an end user or organisation that keys and shared rate limits attach to. Unkey: POST /v2/identities.createIdentity.
unkey_set_ratelimit_overridecan modifySet a custom rate limit for one identifier in a namespace — how you raise or lower a single customer's limit. Unkey: POST /v2/ratelimit.setOverride.
