A source-available developer platform for API infrastructure, covering key issuance, rate limiting, gateways, permissions and usage analytics.
Unkey is a developer platform for modern APIs, gathering deployment, traffic routing, key management and usage insight into one place. The argument is consolidation, replacing several pieces of API infrastructure that teams normally stitch together and then maintain separately for years.
The platform is organized as a set of products sharing a workspace.
- Deploy: push an API to production in seconds with no infrastructure to manage.
- Gateway: route, authenticate and shape traffic through globally distributed gateways.
- API keys: issue, verify and revoke keys, with verification that stays fast worldwide.
- Ratelimiting: globally consistent, durable limits applied to any identifier you choose.
- Permissions and RBAC: per-key permissions, roles and fine-grained access control.
- Analytics and audit logs: usage, latency and per-key insight, alongside an immutable history of every workspace action.
One caveat matters before you plan around it. Unkey has paused external code contributions while the team concentrates on platform direction and stability, and pull requests from outside the team will not be reviewed or merged. Issues stay open for bug reports, feature requests and documentation feedback.
The repository is public and source-available, so the code can be read, forked under the AGPL and self-hosted regardless of that policy, which the maintainers say may be revisited. Security problems should go to the team by email rather than into a public issue.
