POST/v2/functions/namespaces/{namespace_id}/keys

Create a Namespace Access Key

Creates a new access key for a serverless functions namespace. The access key can be used to authenticate requests to the namespace's functions. The secret key is only returned once upon creation.

To create an access key, send a POST request to /v2/functions/namespaces/{namespace_id}/keys.

  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
