ClarifyAPI
Api Keys

Create an API key

Creates an API key and returns it as a JSON:API resource whose cleartext_api_key holds the secret, shown only this once. Requires a user access token, because an API key cannot create another API key. Only admins can create workspace keys.

POST
/workspaces/{workspace}/api-keys
AuthorizationBearer <token>

User access token authentication. Every endpoint accepts it, and endpoints that act as a person accept only it. Send a WorkOS access token in the Authorization header as: Bearer <token>.

In: header

Path Parameters

workspace*string

The workspace slug — the {slug} segment of your Clarify workspace URL.

Query Parameters

silent?boolean

When true, suppresses in-app and Slack notifications for this mutation.

Header Parameters

clarify-version?string

The API version for this request. Send 2026-10 to get the behavior documented here. Omit it to use your API key's version, which this header can raise but not lower.
