Secret-key authentication for Data ingestion and query APIs

Back to Changelog

NewVideo DataAPI

Video Data ingestion and query endpoints now authenticate requests using a workspace secret key, giving you the same access-control model as the rest of the FastPix platform.

What this enables:

  • Authenticated beacons — incoming events are validated against a workspace secret key, so analytics traffic is scoped to the workspace it belongs to.
  • Authenticated queries — dashboards and downstream pipelines can authenticate to the query API with a per-workspace secret key.
  • Automatic key sync — workspace keys propagate to the ingestion and query layers automatically when a workspace is created or rotated.
  • Reliable lookup — authentication remains responsive even on cold starts thanks to layered caching.

If you build directly against the Data APIs, see the workspace settings page for your secret key and add it to your beacon and query clients.
