My Consumer Key
What is a consumer key?
A consumer key is a Zuplo-issued secret that looks like zpka_…. It is not the same as a Restormel Gateway key (rk_… from the dashboard).
| Credential | Typical prefix | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer key (this page) | zpka_ | Calling the Zuplo gateway (control-plane: projects, gateway keys) |
| Gateway key (dashboard) | rk_ | Dashboard API (resolve, policies, route steps) |
Why do I need one?
You need a consumer key when your code or tools call the Gateway API on the Zuplo base URL (see servers in Gateway API Reference). The gateway expects:
Authorization: Bearer zpka_…
Without it, those calls return 401 Unauthorized.
Where do I use it?
- In this portal (after you sign in): open Gateway API Reference, choose an operation, then use the playground on the right — pick the My consumer key (zpka_…) API identity so requests are authorized automatically, or paste your key manually.
- In your own apps/scripts: send the same header to your chosen gateway base URL (for example the URL shown under Servers in the API reference).
You do not use this key for https://restormel.dev/keys/dashboard/api — that API uses rk_… keys from the dashboard.
Your key
Sign in with the same GitHub account you use on Restormel. Your key is loaded from the Restormel dashboard after login.
