Managing keys
Keys are created and revoked from the dashboard at clipping.cc/account:- Create: the full secret (
ck_live_…) is shown once. The server stores only a hash — there is no way to recover it later. - Revoke: immediate. Requests using a revoked key start failing with
401. - You can have multiple keys (e.g. one per environment/integration).
Authentication errors
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
401 | Key missing, invalid, or revoked. |
402 | Key valid, but the account has no balance. See billing. |
Access scope
The key inherits your account’s access: you read your own items, collections and reporters, plus whatever is public viadiscover. There are no
per-permission scopes (yet) — a key has the same read reach as you do.
