API Keys

API keys authenticate you outside the browser: for the CLI in automation, and for connecting tools like ArgoCD.

Creating a key

Create a key under Settings → API keys, or with the CLI:

spawned apikeys create <name>

The full key, prefixed sk_, is shown only once, so copy it somewhere safe. List and revoke your keys the same way, from settings or with spawned apikeys list and spawned apikeys revoke.

Using a key

• Git access. Clone a project’s generated infrastructure over HTTPS using the key as the password (the username can be anything). This is read-only.
• ArgoCD. Kubernetes clusters authenticate to your project repositories with an API key. See Kubernetes.
• Automation. Use a key to run the CLI in CI or other non-interactive environments, where an interactive login isn’t possible.
