Honeycomb Boards API

The Honeycomb Boards API allows developers to programmatically create and manage boards, which are collections of queries displayed together as a dashboard-like view. Boards provide a way to organize and share related queries for monitoring and debugging workflows. The API supports listing, creating, updating, and deleting boards, making it possible to automate the setup of observability dashboards across environments.

Authentication & Security 5

Honeycomb Boards API declares 5 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the header as X-Honeycomb-Team (ApiKeyAuth). An API key is passed in the header as X-Honeycomb-Team (configuration_key). An API key is passed in the header as X-Honeycomb-Team (ingest_key). An API key is passed in the header as X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key (firehose_access_key). It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (HONEYCOMB_KEY_ID:HONEYCOMB_KEY_SECRET) (bearerAuth).

  • ApiKeyAuth — Honeycomb Configuration API key. Must have appropriate permissions for the endpoint being called.
  • configuration_key — Authenticate using a Honeycomb Configuration Key. Pass the Token in the X-Honeycomb-Team header: http X-Honeycomb-Team: 1234567890123456789012 If you created y…
  • ingest_key — Authenticate using a Honeycomb Ingest Key. Pass the Ingest Key in the X-Honeycomb-Team header: http X-Honeycomb-Team: hc[x]ik1234567890123456789012345612345678…
  • firehose_access_key — We recommend using a Honeycomb Ingest Key to authenticate, though a Configuration Key will work. To learn more about authenticating requests, visit [API Authen…

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Honeycomb Boards API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. 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 zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
