Restricted API keys
Public Beta Notice
Restricted API keys are available as a public beta release. Twilio might add or change features before declaring Restricted API keys Generally Available. Beta products aren't covered by a Twilio SLA.
Learn more about beta product support.
Use Restricted API keys for fine-grained control over access to Twilio API resources. You can create and manage Restricted API keys using the REST API Key resource v1 or the Twilio Console.
Restricted API keys allow you to grant API access to many Twilio API endpoints, including:
- Studio
- Voice, Conversational Intelligence, Voice Insights, and SIP
- Messaging
- Long Codes, Regulatory Compliance
- TaskRouter
- Monitor Events and Monitor Alerts
- Lookup
- Verify
- Flex Insights Historical Reporting: The Flex Insights Historical Reporting API keys permissions are currently in private beta and not available for general use. For more information, contact your Twilio account executive.
For example, if your Programmable Voice application's testing suite makes test Voice calls, you can create a Restricted API key that permits only sending POST requests to create Call Resources.
Or you can create Restricted API keys that provide your engineering team with access to every Voice endpoint except the Call Recording Resource endpoints.
Warning
You can't create Access Tokens for Twilio's client-side SDKs with Restricted API keys.

Restricted API keys allow you grant permissions for keys to access specific API endpoints.
Each permission maps to one or more endpoints/actions for each API Resource.
