Keys & Tokens

API tokens for automation and the SSH key pool for servers.

The Keys page is the credential control center: API tokens for programmatic access, and the SSH key pool that server connections draw from.

Keys page

API tokens

Generate a token with a label and a scope preset (CI/CD pipeline, monitoring and logs, or full admin). The dql_... token is shown once — copy it immediately; afterwards only its hash prefix is listed. Send it as a Bearer token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer dql_<key>" https://dequel.example.com/api/projects

Scopes are enforced per HTTP method (read vs write). Revoke a token from the table when it leaks or is no longer needed. The CLI guide tab shows copy-paste curl snippets and secret-handling practices.

SSH key pool

Servers connected over SSH authenticate with a key from this pool, not with per-server pastes. Add a PEM/OpenSSH private key (paste or upload .pem / .key); Dequel detects Ed25519/RSA formats, fingerprints the key, and rejects duplicates. Private material is never displayed again — only name, fingerprint, tags, and date.

When you add a server (Settings → Servers), pick its key from the pool dropdown. Rotating a server’s access means updating the pool entry it points at.
