Jan 15, 2025

Overview

API keys provide read-only programmatic access to the AIRTA Systems API. They are designed for automated data retrieval, integrations, and server-to-server communication.

The AIRTA Systems API provides access to team-based risk assessment data, where professional AI Safety Research teams (not individual researchers) conduct agentic and human-validated testing within structured project engagements. All data follows The Consolidated AI Product Safety Pipeline model.

Key Features

✅ Read-only access - Can retrieve data from all read endpoints
✅ Long-lived - Valid until revoked or expired
✅ Scoped permissions - Granular control over what data can be accessed
✅ IP restrictions - Optional IP whitelisting for enhanced security
✅ Stateless - No session management required

Use Cases

API keys are ideal for:

Automated reporting and data synchronization
Integration with GRC platforms and compliance tools
Building custom dashboards and analytics
Server-to-server data retrieval
CI/CD pipeline integrations
Third-party service integrations
Accessing team data, team performance metrics, and team-attributed submissions from agentic and human-validated testing
Retrieving compliance reports from The Consolidated AI Product Safety Pipeline

Limitations

API keys are read-only and cannot be used for:

Creating or updating submissions
Creating incident reports

Any write operations

For write operations, you must use session-based authentication through the web interface.
