Get project
Retrieve a single project in your workspace by its id.
Use this to fetch project details after creation, verify a project exists before performing operations, or resolve a project’s metadata from its id.
Required Permissions
Your root key must have one of the following permissions:
project.*.read_project(to read any project)project.<project_id>.read_project(to read a specific project)
Authorizations
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.
