Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

workspace API token (sk_akua_...) or OAuth2 JWT. Create tokens at https://akua.dev/developers/api-tokens

Headers

​
akua-context
string

Optional workspace/scope context for the request. Carries a single workspace wire id (ws_…) today. Only needed for broad tokens — a workspace-owned token implies its workspace.

Required string length: 1 - 53
Example:

"ws_j572abc123def456"

​
idempotency-key
string

Caller-supplied idempotency key. Repeated requests with the same key return the existing resource instead of creating a duplicate. Safe to retry after a timed-out or interrupted request.

Required string length: 1 - 64
Example:

"create-prod-2026-05-07"
