API Keys
Authenticate systems and tools to Apollo GraphOS
Every system that communicates with Apollo GraphOS must use an API key. GraphOS Studio is where you create and manage most keys.
Pick the key type that matches your task:
Graph API keys: Authenticate a non-user system (for example, your router or CI) against a graph in GraphOS.
Subgraph API keys: Run subgraph checks, create subgraphs, or publish subgraph schemas from CI/CD to specific subgraphs and variants.
Personal API keys: Authenticate your user for local development.
Operator API keys: Authenticate the Apollo GraphOS Operator as an organization-level service account.
To list, inspect, or delete keys with the GraphOS Platform API, use Manage API keys with the Platform API. To manage keys with the Rover CLI, use Rover API Key Commands.
