API keys
Personal API keys let scripts and agents call Orbit as you.
Requirements
- Pro (or Enterprise) on Mac / web
- Settings → API (or API keys)
Create a key
- Open Settings → API
- Name the key (e.g.
Cursor, Claude, sync-script)
- Create and copy the secret once — it starts with
orb_live_
- Store it in your password manager or env file
Orbit shows the full secret only at creation time. If you lose it, revoke and create a new key.
Use the key
Send it as a Bearer token:
Same key works for MCP when your client supports Bearer auth.
Scope
Revoke
In Settings → API, revoke any key. Existing clients fail on the next request.
