createApiKey #

Available since 7.1.0

Available since Kuzzle 2.1.0

Creates a new API key for a user.

Future<Map<String, dynamic>> createApiKey(
      String userId, String description,
      {String expiresIn, bool refresh})

Property	Type	Description
`userId`	String	User kuid
`description`	String	API key description
`expiresIn`	String (`-1`)	Expiration duration
`refresh`	bool (`false`)	If set to `wait_for`, Kuzzle will not respond until the API key is indexed

Notes:

expiresIn:
- if a raw number is provided (not enclosed between quotes), then the expiration delay is in milliseconds. Example: 86400000
- if this value is a string, then its content is parsed by the ms library. Examples: "6d", "10h"
- if -1 is provided, the token will never expire

Return #

An object containing the newly created API key:

Name	Type	Description
`_id`	String	ID of the newly created API key
`_source`	Map<String, dynamic>	API key content

The API key content has the following properties:

Name	Type	Description
`userId`	String	User kuid
`expiresAt`	int	Expiration date in UNIX micro-timestamp format (`-1` if the token never expires)
`ttl`	int	Original TTL
`description`	String	API key description
`token`	String	Authentication token associated with this API key

The authentication token token will never be returned by Kuzzle again. If you lose it, you'll have to delete the API key and recreate a new one.

  'john.doe',
