Search for Keys

This API has been available since 1.45.0

This API is used to search for Keys and may be called using the GET or POST HTTP methods. Examples of each are provided below. The POST method is provided to allow for a richer request object without worrying about exceeding the maximum length of a URL. Calling this API with either the GET or POST HTTP method will provide the same search results given the same query parameters.

Global API Key Authentication
Search for Keys
GET/api/key/search?algorithm=RS256&name={name}&type=RSA

Request Parameters#

algorithmStringoptional

The algorithm used to generate the key.

The possible values are:

  • Ed25519 - EdDSA using the Ed25519 parameter set Available since 1.62.0
  • ES256 - ECDSA using P-256 curve and SHA-256 hash algorithm
  • ES384 - ECDSA using P-384 curve and SHA-384 hash algorithm
  • ES512 - ECDSA using P-521 curve and SHA-512 hash algorithm
  • RS256 - RSA using SHA-256 hash algorithm
  • RS384 - RSA using SHA-384 hash algorithm
  • RS512 - RSA using SHA-512 hash algorithm
  • HS256 - HMAC using SHA-256 hash algorithm
  • HS384 - HMAC using SHA-384 hash algorithm
  • HS512 - HMAC using SHA-512 hash algorithm
  • None - Secret Available since 1.64.0
nameStringoptional

The case-insensitive string to search for in the Key name. This can contain wildcards using the asterisk character (*). If no wildcards are present, the search criteria will be interpreted as *value*.

numberOfResultsIntegeroptionalDefaults to 25

The number of results to return from the search.

orderByStringoptionalDefaults to name ASC

The field to order the search results as well as an order direction.

The possible values are:

  • algorithm - the algorithm used to generate the Key.
    • Not all keys have an algorithm, null values are treated as smaller than all other values.
    • The possible values are: See algorithm.
  • expiration - the expiration instant of the Key.
    • Not all keys have an expiration value, null values are treated as smaller than all other values.
  • id - the UUID of the Key
  • insertInstant - the instant when the Key was created
  • name - the Key name
  • type - the Key type
    • The possible values are: See type.

The order direction is optional. Possible values of the order direction are ASC or DESC. If omitted, the default sort order is ASC.

For example, to order the results by the insert instant in a descending order, use insertInstant DESC.

startRowIntegeroptionalDefaults to 0

The offset into the total results. In order to paginate the results, increment this value by the numberOfResults for subsequent requests.

For example, if the total search results are greater than the page size designated by numberOfResults, set this value to 25 to retrieve results 26-50, assuming the default page size.

typeStringoptional

The key type. The possible values are:

  • EC
  • OKP Available since 1.62.0
  • RSA
  • HMAC
  • Secret Available since 1.64.0
