Getting an API key

  1. Log in to the Aeolian dashboard
  2. Go to SettingsAPI Keys
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Copy the key immediately - it won’t be shown again
Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories. Store them in environment variables and make requests from your server.

Using your API key

Include the key in the Authorization header:
curl https://admin.aeoliancms.com/api/v1/products \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_api_key"
Each key is scoped to a single store - you don’t need to specify a store ID in requests.

Pausing keys

You can pause an API key from the dashboard without deleting it. Paused keys are rejected during authentication - requests will return a 401 with Invalid API key. This is useful for temporarily disabling access (e.g., during maintenance or if you suspect a leak) while keeping the option to re-enable later.
