API Keys

API keys authenticate all requests to the Leap0 API. Each key is scoped to an organization and grants full access to sandboxes, templates, and snapshots within that organization.

Key visibility

API keys are shown only once at creation time. Copy and store the key securely because it cannot be retrieved later.

Create an API key

Create API keys in the Leap0 Dashboard. Navigate to Settings > API Keys and click Create Key.

Supported headers

Pass your API key in either of these headers. The Bearer prefix is optional.

Header	Example
authorization	Bearer <api_key> or <api_key>
leap0-authorization	Bearer <api_key> or <api_key>

Use leap0-authorization when the authorization header is already consumed by another layer (e.g. a proxy, gateway, or a service running inside the sandbox).

Organization scope

API keys are scoped to a single organization. All resources created with a key (sandboxes, templates, snapshots) belong to that organization. Keys cannot access resources in other organizations.

See Limits for all organization quotas.
