API Key Authentication

The Sekuire CLI uses API key authentication. You'll need to create an API key from your dashboard and configure it with the CLI.

important

Sekuire uses API keys (not username/password). Create one from your dashboard at /dashboard/settings.

Quick Start​

  1. Go to your dashboard: https://sekuire.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api-keys
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Copy the key (shown only once!)
  4. Run sekuire login and paste your key
Terminal
$ sekuire login
Sekuire Login

To authenticate:
   1. Go to: https://sekuire.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api-keys
   2. Create a new API Key for CLI access
   3. Copy the key (you'll only see it once!)
   4. Paste it below

Enter your API Key: sk_live_...

Login successful! API Key verified and bound to this device.

Commands​

  "device_fingerprint": "a1b2c3d4...",
  "org_id": "org_...",
  "workspace_id": "ws_..."

The auth file contains your API key. It has 600 permissions (owner read/write only). Never share this file.

Sekuire API keys have the following prefixes:

  • sk_live_ - Production API key
