## Overview
This document outlines the rules for managing Neon API keys programmatically. It covers listing existing keys, creating new keys, and revoking keys.
### Important note on creating API keys
To create new API keys using the API, you must already possess a valid Personal API Key. The first key must be created from the Neon Console. You can ask the user to create one for you if you do not have one.
### List API keys
- Endpoint: `GET /api_keys`
- Authorization: Use a Personal API Key.
Example request:
```bash
curl "https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/api_keys"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY"
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"id": 2291506,
"name": "my-personal-key",
"created_at": "2025-09-10T09:44:04Z",
"created_by": {
"id": "487de658-08ba-4363-b387-86d18b9ad1c8",
"name": "",
"image": ""
},
"last_used_at": "2025-09-10T09:44:09Z",
"last_used_from_addr": "49.43.218.132,34.211.200.85"
}
]
```
### Create an API key
- Endpoint: `POST /api_keys`
- Authorization: Use a Personal API Key.
- Body: Must include a `key_name`.
Example request:
```bash
curl https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/api_keys
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY"
-d '{"key_name": "my-new-key"}'
```
Example response:
```json
{
"id": 2291515,
"key": "napi_9tlr13774gizljemrr133j5koy3bmsphj8iu38mh0yjl9q4r1b0jy2wuhhuxouzr",
"name": "my-new-key",
"created_at": "2025-09-10T09:47:59Z",
"created_by": "487de658-08ba-4363-b387-86d18b9ad1c8"
}
```
### Revoke an API key
- Endpoint: `DELETE /api_keys/{key_id}`
- Authorization: Use a Personal API Key.
Example request:
```bash
curl -X DELETE
'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/api_keys/2291515'
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"id": 2291515,
"name": "mynewkey",
"created_at": "2025-09-10T09:47:59Z",
"created_by": "487de658-08ba-4363-b387-86d18b9ad1c8",
"last_used_at": "2025-09-10T09:53:01Z",
"last_used_from_addr": "2405:201:c01f:7013:d962:2b4f:2740:9750",
"revoked": true
}
```
