Honeycomb Environments API

The Honeycomb Environments API provides administrative capabilities for managing environments within a Honeycomb team. Environments allow organizations to separate telemetry data across different stages such as development, staging, and production. The API supports listing, creating, updating, and deleting environments, along with the Auth API for validating API keys and determining their associated team and environment permissions.

Honeycomb Environments API is one of 22 APIs that honeycomb publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Administration, Environments, and Observability. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 5 operations across 2 paths, and defines 3 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version 1.0.
