How to use API keys
Creates scoped API keys, shows the value once and supports revocation.
What this section is for
Creates scoped API keys, shows the value once and supports revocation.
Before you start
You need access to IAM.Bot, the correct tenant/workspace and permission to change this configuration. Prepare a non-sensitive example value such as widget-ci-demo.
Buttons and forms
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Create key | Opens the creation flow. The object is not persisted until the final save action. |
| Permissions | Performs the action named in the interface. Review the resulting state or message before continuing. |
| Copy | Copies the displayed value; verify that it does not contain a secret before sharing it. |
| Revoke | Starts a destructive flow and must show a confirmation before the change is applied. |
| Refresh | Reloads data from the server and keeps the current page context. |
Primary path in the interface
- Open the application link above and sign in with the least-privileged role required for this section.
- Select the intended tenant or workspace. Do not continue while the header shows a different tenant.
- In the navigation, click API keys. The expected address is https://app.iambot.ru/api-keys.
- Click Create key. Enter the documented safe values:
widget-ci-demo. Do not paste a production secret into a free-text field. - Review every field before the final Save, Run, Publish or Confirm action. If a preview or validation control exists, run it first.
- Review the validation message or changed row. The result must match this purpose: Creates scoped API keys, shows the value once and supports revocation.
- Only then continue to the next dependent section. Copy the request/correlation ID when the interface shows one.
Second path: direct link and CLI/API
- Open the deep link https://app.iambot.ru/api-keys instead of navigating through the sidebar.
- Confirm the tenant/workspace after the page loads; a deep link must not silently switch scope.
- Before automating the API path, run this product-specific read-only or validation command. It proves reachability but does not bypass application permissions:
curl --fail --silent --show-error https://cdn.iambot.ru/widget.js -o /tmp/iambot-widget.js
wc -c /tmp/iambot-widget.js
How to verify the result
The key is stored in a secret store, scopes are minimal and a revoked key returns 401.
If it did not work
| Symptom | What to do |
|---|---|
| 401 / sign-in screen | Sign in again, then return to this page. Do not put a session token in a URL. |
| 403 | Check the selected tenant and request the documented role; retrying with the same role will not help. |
| 404 | Verify the exact path and whether the feature is enabled in this environment. |
| 409 | Search for an object named widget-ci-demo; continue with it or choose a unique name. |
| 422 / validation error | Correct only the highlighted fields. Keep identifiers lowercase unless the form explicitly allows otherwise. |
| 429 | Wait for the displayed retry interval or reduce the request scope; do not start parallel retries. |
| 5xx / timeout | Refresh once after the server has recovered; do not repeat a destructive action while its result is unknown. Save the correlation ID and timestamp for support. |
