🔒 Notes from Verkada on API Keys
Verkada uses two-factor API authentication:
Top-level API Key (created by Org Admins).
Short-lived API Token (valid 30 minutes).
Each API Key can be configured with:
Read-only access → retrieve info (alerts, counts, etc.).
Read/Write access → retrieve + update (create profiles, events, etc.).
API Keys and Tokens should be stored securely (like passwords).
All changes are audit logged in Verkada.
Limit: max 10 API Keys per organization.
