API Keys

Create and manage API keys to authenticate requests to the Actian AI Analyst Public API.

API keys are the credentials used to authenticate requests to the Public API. Each key is scoped to your organization and grants full access to the Public API endpoints.

API key management is available to all Studio users.

Creating an API key

1. Go to Studio > Settings > API Keys

2. Click Create API Key

3. Enter a Name (required) — choose something descriptive, like CI/CD Pipeline or Data Team Automation

4. Optionally add a Description for extra context

5. Optionally set an Expiration — the key will automatically stop working after this date. Leave blank for a key that never expires

6. Click Create

The secret key (sk_...) is shown once immediately after creation. Copy it and store it securely — you will not be able to view it again.

Treat your API key like a password. Store it in a secrets manager or environment variable — never commit it to source control.

Using an API key

Pass the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of every request:

Authorization: Bearer sk_...

Example with curl:

curl https://app.wobby.ai/api/public/v1/semantic-layer \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_..."

Viewing existing keys

Navigate to Studio > Settings > API Keys to see all keys for your organization. The list shows:

Field	Description
Name	Human-readable label you gave the key
Description	Optional notes
Last used	When the key was last used to make an API call
Created	When the key was created and by whom
Status	Active or revoked

The secret value is never shown again after creation. If you lose a key, revoke it and create a new one.

Revoking a key

1. Go to Studio > Settings > API Keys

2. Find the key you want to remove

3. Click the Revoke button next to it

4. Confirm the action

Revoked keys are immediately rejected by the API. Any automation using that key will stop working, so make sure to rotate to a new key before revoking an old one.

Audit trail

All API requests made with a key are attributed to that key in the Audit Logs. You'll see entries like API Key: CI/CD Pipeline as the actor for any changes made via the API.
