Authentication

All calls to Drata APIs are authenticated with an API key that a user can generate within your Drata app. Allowed resources can be customized per API key.

Please keep your API keys private.

API Keys created should never be exposed in untrusted contexts. Never put an API Key in client-side JavaScript, embed it in a web page, or otherwise allow users to access it. If an API Key is exposed, lost, or stolen, then it is compromised. Revoke compromised keys immediately from your Account Settings page to prevent unauthorized access.

Rate Limits

Each request is tracked by its unique IP. The limit is 500 requests per minute. Hitting the limit will block requests for the following 10 minutes.
