# Authentication

Every request except the catalog needs an API key, sent as a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer rv\_7KQ2M9XD…

Create keys in [Settings, API keys](https://rdp.vision/profile#api). A key is shown once, so store it like a password. Give each script or agent its own key, set an expiry if it’s temporary, and revoke it at any time. Everything a key does appears in the server’s activity with the key’s name.

## Scopes

A key can only do what its scopes allow. New keys get read, credentials and power.

`read`See servers, their status and activity, payments, prices and the balance

`credentials`See server passwords (in Get a server)

`power`Start, stop and restart servers

`order`Order servers, paid from the balance

`renew`Renew servers from the balance and switch auto-renew

`topup`Create crypto invoices to top up the balance

`reinstall`Reinstall servers (erases them)

`delete`Delete servers

Sign-in settings, support, affiliates and key management can’t be reached with a key, whatever its scopes. If a balance is frozen, keys can’t spend it either.
