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"

​
if-match
string
required

The etag of the resource version the client last read. Required on writes when the resource exposes an etag field. Mismatch returns 409 ABORTED with the current etag in the error metadata.

Required string length: 1 - 256
Example:

"42"
