    Partially redacted hint for the API key.

  • principal: BetaAPIKeyUserActor or BetaAPIKeyServiceAccountActor or null

    • BetaAPIKeyServiceAccountActor object

      • type: "service_account_actor"

        Principal type. Always "service_account_actor" for a Service Account.

        default: service_account_actor

      • service_account_id: string

        ID of the Service Account the API key acts as.

  • scope: BetaAPIKeyOrganizationScope or BetaAPIKeyWorkspaceScope

    Where the API key belongs: its Workspace ({"type": "workspace", "workspace_id": "wrkspc_..."}, with the Workspace's real ID even when it is the organization's default Workspace), or the organization ({"type": "organization"}) for a principal-bound API key that has no Workspace.

    • BetaAPIKeyOrganizationScope object

      • type: "organization"

        Scope type. Always "organization": the API key has no Workspace. Only a principal-bound API key can have this scope.

        default: organization

    • BetaAPIKeyWorkspaceScope object

      • type: "workspace"

        Scope type. Always "workspace": the API key belongs to one Workspace.

        default: workspace

      • workspace_id: string

        ID of the Workspace the API key belongs to. Unlike the deprecated top-level workspace_id, this is the Workspace's real ID even for the organization's default Workspace.

  • status: "active" or "archived" or "expired" or "inactive"

    Status of the API key.

    • "active"

    • "archived"

    • "expired"

    • "inactive"

  • workspace_id: string or null

    Deprecated: Use scope instead. workspace_id is null both for an API key in the default Workspace and for a principal-bound API key that has no Workspace.

    Deprecated: use scope instead. ID of the Workspace associated with the API key, or null if the API key belongs to the default Workspace. Also null for a principal-bound API key that has no Workspace; scope tells the two apart.
