Create an API Key

This creates an API Key, which will return the API Key components in the response. The Key ID will be found at data.id and the Key Secret will be found at data.attributes.secret. For security reasons the Key Secret will only be available during creation so make sure to save it.

To use a newly-created Ingest Key it should be passed in the X-Honeycomb-Team header with the API Key's ID and secret concatenated (and with no separator). For example, X-Honeycomb-Team: hcxik_1234567890123456789012345612345678901234567890123456789012
