Scoping an API key to one job
Give each Versely API key only the scopes its job needs. The eight-scope catalog and longest-prefix matching make that split practical.

Server-side publishing needs a narrower key than generation, plus its own rate limit. Scope a key to posting and pace it so a bug cannot generate.
Session tokens and API keys authenticate the same endpoints. Use a JWT in a browser app and a vsk_ key for a server job or scheduled script.
Per-key request-per-minute limits contain a runaway loop. Give CI, staging, and production different ceilings so one job stalls instead of draining the account.
The raw key is shown once. Rotate by minting a replacement, swapping the running job, then soft-revoking the old key so in-flight work still finishes.
Browser-approval login cannot run on a build runner. Set up a scoped key, inject it as a secret, and keep the job fully non-interactive.
