Some typesof API keys represent access to a single cluster/resource such as a Kafka cluster,Schema Registry cluster or a ksqlDB cluster. Cloud API Keys represent access to resources within an organizationthat are not tied to a specific cluster, such as the Org API, IAM API, Metrics API or Connect API.Tableflow API keys and Global API keys are not tied to a specific cluster.The API allows you to list, create, update and delete your API Keys.Related guide: [API Keys in Confluent Cloud](https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/client-apps/api-keys.html).## The API Keys Model## Quotas and LimitsThis resource is subject to the [following quotas](https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/quotas/overview.html):| Quota | Description || --- | --- || `apikeys_per_org` | API Keys in one Confluent Cloud organization |

It supports OAuth 2.0 (confluent-sts-access-token) using the clientCredentials flow. It accepts HTTP basic authentication (global-api-key). It accepts HTTP basic authentication (resource-api-key). It supports OAuth 2.0 (external-access-token) using the clientCredentials flow. It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth) using the clientCredentials flow, exposing 4 scopes.

  • cloud-api-key — Authenticate with Cloud API Keys using HTTP Basic Auth. Treat the Cloud API Key ID as the username and Cloud API Key Secret as the password.
  • confluent-sts-access-token — Authenticate with Confluent API using this credentials (JSON Web Tokens) following OAuth 2.0.
  • global-api-key — Authenticate with Global API Keys using HTTP Basic Auth. Treat the Global API Key ID as the username and Global API Key Secret as the password.
  • resource-api-key — Authenticate with resource-specific API Keys using HTTP Basic Auth. Treat the resource-specific API Key ID as the username and resource-specific API Key Secret…
  • external-access-token — Authenticate with Confluent API using this credentials (JSON Web Tokens) following OAuth 2.0.
  • oauth — Authenticate with OAuth 2.0. Currently this is only supported for partner APIs.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Confluent API Keys (iam/v2) 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.
