Create an API token

POST
/api/v1/organizations/{orgID}/api-tokens
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.aetherplatform.cloud/api/v1/organizations/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/api-tokens \

--data '{ "name": "example", "scopes": [ "example" ], "expires_at": "example", "role": "viewer" }'

Creates a new API token. The raw token secret is returned only in this response and is never retrievable again. Requires the owner role on a portal login (an API token with role admin can grant any member role, so minting one is owner-only); an API token cannot mint a token and is refused with 403 token_not_permitted. The token acts with this role in the organization’s route policy; admin (default) keeps today’s behaviour, incl. granting and removing owners. owner and machine are refused with 422. The scopes k8s:proxy and ccm:* are reserved for platform-minted tokens and are refused with 422 (field scopes, code reserved).

status_url

The platform status page (https://status.aetherplatform.cloud). Present on 5xx answers written by the API’s error writer and on no other; absent, not null, on 4xx.

string format: uri
decline_code

The payment provider’s decline code. Present only on 402 payment_declined; it is its own field and is never folded into message.

string
invoice_id

Present on exactly these errors of the invoice pay and pay/confirm endpoints: 402 payment_declined, 402 payment_method_required, 409 invoice_already_paid, 409 invoice_not_issued, 409 invoice_below_minimum, 409 payment_not_in_flight, and 409 invoice_void when the void invoice was replaced. It is the id of the live invoice, which after a re-issue is the replacement and not the id in the request URL (on 409 invoice_void from pay/confirm it is the replacement’s id). Absent on every other error — 400 (including discount_code_invalid), 403, 404, the discount_* 409s, 409 invoice_void with no replacement (nothing live to name), every 5xx and 503 code — and never null.

Refused by the organization role policy (see Authorization in the API description). error.code is forbidden when the caller is not a member of the organization (or the API token belongs to another organization), insufficient_role when the caller’s organization role is below the operation’s minimum role, and token_not_permitted when the request was authenticated with an API token on an operation API tokens may not use (the API Tokens operations; the handler-gated operations named in the API description: deleting the organization, changing a member’s role or payment_mode, paying an invoice including its confirm step, and discounts; and for a cluster-pinned machine token every operation except the loadbalancer-ips and loadbalancer-vms operations). email_unverified when a portal user’s e-mail address is not verified (see Authentication).
