Create API key
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.nixflex.com/v1/keys
Creates a new API key for your account. Returns both key_id and key_secret — save the secret immediately, it cannot be retrieved later.
This endpoint is the only one that doesn’t require authentication, because you might be calling it during signup. In practice most developers create keys via the dashboard.

​

Response

{
  "message": "API key created. Save your key_secret — it will not be shown again.",

​
Important

key_secret is shown once. If you lose it, you must create a new key.
  • Store it in a secrets manager immediately
  • Never commit it to source control
  • Never include it in client-side JavaScript

​
Rate limit

This endpoint is rate-limited to 10 requests per hour per IP to prevent abuse.
