All requests to the Lanten API must be authenticated with an API key.
Generating an API key
- Go to your Lanten dashboard
- Navigate to Settings → Developers
- Click Create API key
- Copy your key — it won’t be shown again
Keep your API key secret. Do not commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code.
Using your API key
Pass your API key in the Authorization header of every request:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Example request
curl https://app.lanten.ai/api/open/v1/issues \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Scopes and permissions
API keys are scoped to your team. A key has access to all resources belonging to your team — issues, tenants, and units.
Rotating keys
If a key is compromised, delete it from Settings → Developers and generate a new one. Deleted keys are revoked immediately.
