API Keys
Daytona API keys are used to authenticate requests to the Daytona API.
The Configuration page covers how to set up your environment variables, including the DAYTONA_API_KEY environment variable.
To list existing API Keys go to the Keys subpage in the Dashboard. Clicking on Create Key will show a modal for creating and copying a new key to your clipboard.
Permissions
When adding a new API Key you will be prompted to select a set of permissions for the key:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
Sandboxes | Grants the ability to create and manage Sandboxes |
Images | Grants the ability to create and manage Images |
Registries | Grants the ability to create and manage Registries |
Each of these permissions have scopes for creating and updating resources (e.g. write:sandboxes) and delete resources (e.g. delete:sandboxes) that can be separately granted.
