Org API keys_
Use organization API keys to proxy Appwrite and programmatically manage projects, domains, and resources from your partner platform.
1 min read
Organization API keys authenticate server-to-server calls to Appwrite Console APIs from your platform's backend. Use them when your product provisions and manages Appwrite resources inside an organization you operate.
How it works
- Create an organization API key in Organization > Settings > API keys
- Assign Console scopes for the operations your platform performs
- Initialize the Console SDK with the key on your server
- Create projects, manage domains, and orchestrate resources for your customers
- Use project API keys or dynamic keys inside each customer project for resource-level APIs
Organization API keys never belong in client applications, mobile apps, or public repositories.
When to use org API keys
Choose org API keys when:
- Your platform creates a dedicated Appwrite project per customer
- You manage domains and DNS at the organization level
- Your backend proxies Appwrite for a custom control plane or UI
- You do not need per-user OAuth consent because resources live in your org
Combine with OAuth connect when some customers link their own Appwrite organizations.
