Quickstart

Open app.cedr.dev, enter your email and choose Email me a sign-in link, or continue with GitHub. Your first sign-in creates your account and your first organization, which starts a 21-day trial of the Team plan with no card needed.

2. Create an API Key

In the app, open API Keys under Management, give the key a name that says where it will run (such as laptop or ci-deploy), choose when it expires and select Create key.

Copy the key straight away. It starts with cedr_ and is shown only once; if you lose it, revoke it and create another.

3. Call the API

Store the key in an environment variable, then ask the API who it belongs to:

export CEDR_API_KEY="cedr_..."
curl https://api.cedr.dev/v1/me -H "Authorization: Bearer $CEDR_API_KEY"

A working key returns your profile, the key’s name and your organizations:

{
  "user": { "id": "q7Rz2Lw9Xk4mT1cB", "name": "Sam Rivera", "email": "sam@northwind.example" },
  "key": { "name": "ci-deploy" },
  "organizations": [{ "id": "Hn5bV8yP3dJ6sA0e", "name": "Northwind Labs", "role": "owner" }]
}
