API Keys

Create, view, re-issue, and revoke API keys for connecting PodWarden instances to Hub

What you see

URL: /dashboard/api-keys (requires login)

The API Keys page lets you manage the keys your organization uses to connect PodWarden instances to Hub and to authenticate API requests. Keys use the pwc_ prefix.

The page has a header with the title and a "Create Key" button. Below that is a card listing all your API keys, or an empty state message if none exist.

When you create a new key, a green banner appears at the top showing the full key value. This is the only time the key is displayed -- copy it immediately.

Fields / columns

Field	Description
Name	Descriptive label you chose when creating the key (e.g. "Production PodWarden")
Key prefix	First characters of the key (`pwc_...`) for identification
Last used	Date the key was last used to authenticate a request
Status	Current key status: `active` or `revoked`

Available actions

Action	Where	What it does
Create Key	Page header button	Opens a modal to name and create a new API key
Copy	Created key banner	Copies the full key value to the clipboard
Dismiss	Created key banner	Hides the key display banner
Re-issue	Refresh icon per key row	Generates a new key value for the same key record. The old value stops working immediately.
