Can I use the same API key on several servers?
Yes. A key works from anywhere it's sent from. But:
- One rate limit is shared across all servers using it.
- Revoking it stops all of them at once.
- Logs can't tell them apart by key.
For a group of identical servers running one service, one key is reasonable. For different services or environments, create separate keys.
Good to know#
- Keys can expire after 30 days, 90 days (default), 1 year, or never.
- Revoking is immediate and permanent: requests fail with
401 invalid_api_key. - Every API request sends your key and your Account ID (
X-Clatter-Account: CL-…); a key alone is refused.
