The Stormkit API uses API keys for authentication. API keys can be created at three different levels, each providing different scopes of access.

API Key Levels

Stormkit supports three levels of API keys:

User Level API Key

2. Select Account
3. Scroll down to the API Keys section
4. Create a new API Key

Team Level API Key

Grants access to all applications owned by a specific team.

To create a Team Level API Key:

1. Expand the Team toggle in the top-left corner
2. Select the gear icon of the team you want to access
3. Create a new API Key

Environment Level API Key

Grants access to a specific environment within an application.

Making Authenticated Requests

Once you have an API key, include it in the Authorization header of your requests.

User Level API Key

curl -X GET \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  'https://api.stormkit.io/v1/snippets?envId=4151'
