Usage
Codebeispiel
bird api-keys create [flags]Description
Create an API key
Create a workspace key and receive its token once, in this response; no later call reads it back. A key can never issue or revoke another key. Expiry is fixed at creation, and cidrs is applied in the same transaction, so an invalid range fails the whole call instead of leaving the key unrestricted.
Build the request from flags, a JSON ApiKeyCreate body via --body-file ("-" reads
stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to
print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without
sending it.
Examples
Codebeispiel
# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird api-keys create --example
# the body it prints:Codebeispiel
{
"cidrs": ["203.0.113.0/24", "198.51.100.14/32"],
"expires_at": "2027-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"name": "Email operations production key",
"scopes": [
{
"level": "read",
"scope": "emails"
}
]
}Codebeispiel
# a key that can send email and read its own sending domains
bird api-keys create --name "Email ops key" --scope emails:write --scope domains:read
# preview the request without minting a key
bird api-keys create --name "Email ops key" --scope emails:write --expires-at 2027-01-01T00:00:00Z --dry-runOptions
Key
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| --name | A label for the key, shown wherever it is listed. Names do not have to be unique, and the name has no effect on what the key can do. |
| --scope <v1,v2,…> | Permission as <area>:<level>. Repeatable, or comma-separated. Levels: read, write. Areas: emails, email_management, email_marketing, domains, realtime, sms, sms_management, verify, whatsapp, whatsapp_management, voice, voice_management, mailbox, mailbox_management, assets, esim, esim_credentials, lookup, numbers, webhooks, preferences, workspace. |
Restrictions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| --expires-at | When the key stops working (RFC 3339, e.g. 2027-01-01T00:00:00Z). Omit for a key that never expires; the expiry cannot be changed afterwards. |
| --cidr <v1,v2,…> | Source IP range the key is restricted to (CIDR). Repeatable, or comma-separated. Omit for a key with no IP restriction. |
Request
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| --body-file | Read the JSON request body from this file; "-" reads stdin |
| --example | Print a complete example request body, then exit |
| --dry-run | Print the resolved request without sending it, then exit |
| --idempotency-key | Deduplication key; a retry with the same key won't act twice |
