All requests to a search service need a read-only api-key that was generated specifically for your service. The api-key is the sole mechanism for authenticating access to your search service endpoint and must be included on every request. In REST solutions, the api-key is typically specified in a request header. In .NET solutions, a key is often specified as a configuration setting and then passed as Credentials (admin key) or SearchCredentials (query key) on SearchServiceClient.
How should I generate an API key that allows me to use the Heroku Platform API? Your API key has expired unexpectedly and you're receiving 403 Forbidden errors when hitting API endpoints. Use heroku authorizations:create for production apps, use heroku auth:token for development. There are multiple ways to create API keys and all of them have different expiration. If your login was successful, your Heroku API key would be populated in the API Key field. Setup API Key. In the SSH Key section, click Generate if you need to generate a new key. If you have previously generated and saved a SSH key is automatically loaded from the default location. Jun 11, 2018 Wrap-up. This tutorial demonstrates how to call the Heroku Platform API using curl, but you can transfer this approach to whatever language and environment you favor. The tutorial focused specifically on creating, updating and deleting apps. The API has many more resources available, including add-ons, config vars and domains. Sep 17, 2012 heroku login again says 'Authentication Successful' Of course, I had HEROKUAPIKEY set in my ENV long back which was now invalid. But, I couldn't find any documentation on this anywhere in Heroku docs or help forums. Only way I found this issue was after I had tracked the issue down to HEROKUAPIKEY and searched for it in Issues.
Step 1: Create a Google/YouTube and Vimeo API keys. See the Google/YouTube API instructions and Vimeo API instructions in the README. Step 2: Setting up Heroku. After clicking the Heroku button above: Create an account (if you don't have one already). Give the app a name. Set OAUTH2ENFORCESCOPES to true if you have a scoped developer key.
Keys are created with your search service during service provisioning. You can view and obtain key values in the Azure portal.
What is an api-key
An api-key is a string composed of randomly generated numbers and letters. Through role-based permissions, you can delete or read the keys, but you can't replace a key with a user-defined password or use Active Directory as the primary authentication methodology for accessing search operations.
Two types of keys are used to access your search service: admin (read-write) and query (read-only).
Key | Description | Limits |
---|---|---|
Admin | Grants full rights to all operations, including the ability to manage the service, create and delete indexes, indexers, and data sources. Two admin keys, referred to as primary and secondary keys in the portal, are generated when the service is created and can be individually regenerated on demand. Having two keys allows you to roll over one key while using the second key for continued access to the service. Admin keys are only specified in HTTP request headers. You cannot place an admin api-key in a URL. | Maximum of 2 per service |
Query | Grants read-only access to indexes and documents, and are typically distributed to client applications that issue search requests. Query keys are created on demand. You can create them manually in the portal or programmatically via the Management REST API. Query keys can be specified in an HTTP request header for search, suggestion, or lookup operation. Alternatively, you can pass a query key as a parameter on a URL. Depending on how your client application formulates the request, it might be easier to pass the key as a query parameter: GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$orderby=lastRenovationDate desc&api-version=2019-05-06&api-key=[query key] | 50 per service |
Visually, there is no distinction between an admin key or query key. Both keys are strings composed of 32 randomly generated alpha-numeric characters. If you lose track of what type of key is specified in your application, you can check the key values in the portal or use the REST API to return the value and key type.
Note
It is considered a poor security practice to pass sensitive data such as an
api-key
in the request URI. For this reason, Azure Cognitive Search only accepts a query key as an api-key
in the query string, and you should avoid doing so unless the contents of your index should be publicly available. As a general rule, we recommend passing your api-key
as a request header.Find existing keys
You can obtain access keys in the portal or through the Management REST API. For more information, see Manage admin and query api-keys.
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- List the search services for your subscription.
- Select the service and on the Overview page, click Settings >Keys to view admin and query keys.
Create query keys
Query keys are used for read-only access to documents within an index for operations targeting a documents collection. Search, filter, and suggestion queries are all operations that take a query key. Any read-only operation that returns system data or object definitions, such as an index definition or indexer status, requires an admin key.
Restricting access and operations in client apps is essential to safeguarding the search assets on your service. Always use a query key rather than an admin key for any query originating from a client app.
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- List the search services for your subscription.
- Select the service and on the Overview page, click Settings >Keys.
- Click Manage query keys.
- Use the query key already generated for your service, or create up to 50 new query keys. The default query key is not named, but additional query keys can be named for manageability.
Note
A code example showing query key usage can be found in Query an Azure Cognitive Search index in C#.
Regenerate admin keys
Two admin keys are created for each service so that you can rotate a primary key, using the secondary key for business continuity.
- In the Settings >Keys page, copy the secondary key.
- For all applications, update the api-key settings to use the secondary key.
- Regenerate the primary key.
- Update all applications to use the new primary key.
If you inadvertently regenerate both keys at the same time, all client requests using those keys will fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden. However, content is not deleted and you are not locked out permanently.
You can still access the service through the portal or the management layer (REST API, PowerShell, or Azure Resource Manager). Management functions are operative through a subscription ID not a service api-key, and thus still available even if your api-keys are not.
After you create new keys via portal or management layer, access is restored to your content (indexes, indexers, data sources, synonym maps) once you have the new keys and provide those keys on requests.
Secure api-keys
Key security is ensured by restricting access via the portal or Resource Manager interfaces (PowerShell or command-line interface). As noted, subscription administrators can view and regenerate all api-keys. As a precaution, review role assignments to understand who has access to the admin keys.
- In the service dashboard, click Access control (IAM) and then the Role assignments tab to view role assignments for your service.
Members of the following roles can view and regenerate keys: Owner, Contributor, Search Service Contributors
Note
For identity-based access over search results, you can create security filters to trim results by identity, removing documents for which the requestor should not have access. For more information, see Security filters and Secure with Active Directory.

The Heroku provider is used to interact with the resources provided by HerokuPlatform API and needs to be configured with credentials before it can be used.
» Background
Heroku is a fully-managed platform that gives you thesimplest path to delivering apps quickly:
» Contributing
Development happens in the GitHub repo:
» Example Usage
» Authentication
The Heroku provider offers a flexible means of providing credentials forauthentication. The following methods are supported, listed in order ofprecedence, and explained below:
- Static credentials
- Environment variables
- Netrc
» Static credentials
Credentials can be provided statically by adding
email
and api_key
argumentsto the Heroku provider block:» Environment variables
When the Heroku provider block does not contain an
email
or api_key
argument, the missing credentials will be sourced from the environment via theHEROKU_EMAIL
and HEROKU_API_KEY
environment variables respectively:» Netrc
Credentials can instead be sourced from the
.netrc
file in your home directory:![Api Api](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126076584/617966918.png)
