api keys

Generate API keys for programmatic access to ClawEngine without browser-based authentication.

Creating a Key

Navigate to Dashboard → API Keys and click Create Key. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "CI/CD Pipeline", "Discord Bot", "Monitoring Script").

You'll see the full key once — copy it immediately. After creation, only the key prefix (first 8 characters) is visible for identification.

Key Security

• Keys are stored as hashed values — ClawEngine cannot recover a lost key

• Each key has a visible prefix (e.g., cwe_8a3f...) for identification

• Request count and last used timestamp are tracked automatically

• Delete keys you're no longer using

Using a Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

GET /api/agents
Authorization: Bearer cwe_your_full_api_key_here

API

GET    /api/api-keys           ← list all keys (prefix + metadata only)
POST   /api/api-keys           ← create key (returns full key once)
DELETE /api/api-keys/:id       ← revoke key
