Query rate limit data

Queries may reference only the five public rate limit analytics aliases: ratelimits_v1, ratelimits_per_minute_v1, ratelimits_per_hour_v1, ratelimits_per_day_v1, or ratelimits_per_month_v1. CTEs, subqueries, UNION, and EXCEPT are supported.
Queries are always restricted to the authenticated workspace. Wildcard analytics permission can read every namespace in that workspace; namespace-scoped permissions automatically restrict results to the permitted namespace IDs.
Workspace retention and query limits apply.

Authorization

Authorizationstringheaderrequired#

Unkey uses bearer tokens for authentication. Public integrations use root keys, while the dashboard proxy uses short-lived JWTs.
To authenticate, include the token in the Authorization header of each request:

Root keys have specific permissions attached to them, controlling what operations they can perform. Legacy permissions use tuple strings like api.*.create_key; resource permissions use Unkey Resource Names plus actions, like unkey:v1:ws_123:keyspaces/*#create_key.
Security best practices:

  • Keep root keys secure and never expose them in client-side code
  • Use different root keys for different environments
  • Rotate keys periodically, especially after team member departures
  • Create keys with minimal necessary permissions following least privilege principle
  • Monitor key usage with audit logs.

Body

application/json
querystringrequired#

SQL query to execute against your rate limit analytics data.
Queries may reference only the five public aliases: ratelimits_v1, ratelimits_per_minute_v1, ratelimits_per_hour_v1, ratelimits_per_day_v1, or ratelimits_per_month_v1. Physical default.* table names are unsupported. CTEs, subqueries, UNION, and EXCEPT are supported.
Queries are always restricted to the authenticated workspace. Wildcard analytics permission can read every namespace in that workspace; namespace-scoped permissions automatically restrict results to the permitted namespace IDs.
Workspace retention and query limits apply.
