About Unkey
Through Operate As, your agent, n8n workflow or code works in Unkey with your client's own access. Your client pastes their root key from Unkey once. We store it encrypted, so it never sits in an email or a shared doc. Your agent reaches any endpoint of Unkey's API through the request tool, with the client's access attached.
