Authzed Permissions API declares
1 security scheme
for authenticating requests.
It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (BearerAuth).
By default, every request must be authenticated.
BearerAuth — SpiceDB preshared-key. Pass as Authorization: Bearer
Paths & Operations 5
Across 5 paths, the API surfaces 5 operations — 5 POST. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.
Permissions 5
Check, expand, and lookup permissions on resources and subjects
POST
/v1/permissions/check
CheckPermission determines for a given resource whether a subject computes to having a permission or is a direct member of a particular relation.
ExpandPermissionTree reveals the graph structure for a resource's permission or relation. This RPC does not recurse infinitely deep and may require multiple calls to fully unnest a deeply nested grap…
LookupSubjects returns all the subjects of a given type that have access whether via a computed permission or relation membership.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Authzed Permissions API, published by
API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or

Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site,
developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use.
Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's
public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications,
endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and
you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored
