Authentication

API key authentication

APIMUX uses API keys for service access today.

Create or manage keys in the dashboard:

• /settings/apikeys

Send the key with every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Service and CLI

The service and the CLI both use the same credential type:

• Direct HTTP requests: send the bearer token yourself
• CLI workflows: either run apimux config init or set APIMUX_API_KEY

Example:

APIMUX_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
apimux schema capabilities

Security guidance

• Keep API keys out of client-side code and public repositories
• Rotate keys if you suspect they were exposed
• Prefer dedicated keys per environment or automation surface
• Revoke unused keys from the dashboard instead of leaving them dormant

Next

Once authentication is in place, use the API reference at /settings/api-docs for concrete request and response schemas.
