All requests to the Lanten API must be authenticated with an API key.

​
Generating an API key

  1. Go to your Lanten dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → Developers
  3. Click Create API key
  4. 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

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.
