Access
Programmatic access to the FireTail API is currently available only for Enterprise plans, and must be requested.
Client credentials and role-based scoping
Client credentials inherit the role and permissions of the user who created them:
- When client credentials are created, their scopes reflect the user’s current role (e.g., Admin).
- If the user’s role changes the associated scopes will be updated accordingly.
Keep your client credentials secure. Do not expose them in public code or repositories.
Search scope requirements
Performing a search operation requires multiple scopes:
search:create
{resource}:list
(e.g.,apis:list
)
For example, to search API resources, you must include:
search:create
apis:list
Rate limiting
The FireTail API enforces the following rate limits per organization:
- GET / DELETE requests: up to 500 requests per second
- POST / PUT requests: up to 50 requests per second
We recommend implementing exponential backoff in the event of a 429 Too Many Requests
responses.
