unkeyed/unkey

Features

• API Key Lifecycle Management - Provides full lifecycle management for API keys, including creation, updates, and revocation.
• API Key Management - Provides a comprehensive system for issuing, verifying, and revoking secure API keys to authorize resource access.
• Usage Metering & Billing - Tracks request consumption against monthly credit balances to support tiered and metered pricing models.
• API Gateway Control Planes - Ships a management layer for routing traffic and enforcing access control policies at the network edge.
• Key Verifications - Provides edge-based validation of API keys to minimize latency and protect application servers.
• Distributed Rate Limiting - Implements request volume tracking across global regions to prevent service abuse without centralized caching.
• Gateway Rate Limiters - Implements request caps per IP, user, or key at the API gateway level to protect backend services.
• Global Verifications - Validates secure keys using a global distribution network to authorize requests with minimal latency.
• Edge Authentication Strategies - Validates API keys at the network edge to reject unauthorized requests before they reach application logic.
• Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention - Prevents service abuse by capping request volumes at the network edge for users and IP addresses.
• Client Request Quotas - Enforces durable per-client request volume limits to protect overall system capacity.
• User Self-Service Portals - Provides a self-service interface for users to manage their own authentication keys and monitor usage.
• Billing and Usage - Updates credit limits and key settings to align with current billing cycles or subscription changes.
• Developer Portals - Provides a centralized developer hub for managing API keys, monitoring usage, and accessing documentation.
• Global Region Deployments - Builds and distributes images across multiple worldwide regions to ensure low-latency responses.
• Global Traffic Steering - Implements global traffic steering to route users to the nearest regional instance for minimum latency.
• Traffic Routing - Directs incoming requests to the nearest regional instance to minimize latency for worldwide users.
• Namespace Organization - Organizes keys into namespaces to provide logical isolation by environment, service, or product line.
• API Activity Auditing - Maintains a permanent, immutable history of all workspace actions for security compliance and accountability.
• Custom Key Specifications - Supports the issuance of keys with custom prefixes, metadata, and specific expiration dates.
• Key-Level Access Controls - Assigns granular roles and permissions to individual API keys to restrict access to sensitive resources.
• Identity-Linked Grouping - Allows multiple API keys to be associated with one identity for shared rate limiting and metadata.
• Namespace-Based Isolation - Groups keys into distinct namespaces to isolate authentication and quotas by environment or product line.
• Permission-Based Access Control - Enforces access restrictions based on the identity and specific permissions associated with a presented key.
• Role-Based Access Control - Implements fine-grained security policies using role-based access control for managing key permissions.
• Identity-Linked Key Grouping - Links multiple keys to a single identity to synchronize rate limits across different access points.
• Real-Time Monitoring - Collects real-time logs and traffic metrics to identify abnormal request patterns and performance issues.
