Getting an API key

  • Log in to the Aeolian dashboard
  • Go to Settings > API Keys
  • Click Create API Key
  • Copy the key immediately - it won't be shown again
Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories. Store them in environment variables and make requests from your server.

Using your API key

Include the key in the Authorization header:

curl https://admin.aeoliancms.com/api/v1/products \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_api_key"

Each key is scoped to a single store - you don't need to specify a store ID in requests.

Pausing keys

You can pause an API key from the dashboard without deleting it. Paused keys are rejected during authentication - requests will return a 401 with Invalid API key.

This is useful for temporarily disabling access (e.g., during maintenance or if you suspect a leak) while keeping the option to re-enable later.
