SSH keys (Compute API)

The account's SSH public keys. A key passed at launch (ssh_public_key) is authorized on that instance and saved here for reuse, deduplicated by fingerprint; the console's launch form offers these to pick from. This endpoint lets you manage the list directly.

Prerequisites and shared rules are on the overview.

Endpoints

Method	Path	What it does
`GET`	`/ssh-keys`	The account's keys
`POST`	`/ssh-keys`	Add a key
`DELETE`	`/ssh-keys/{id}`	Remove a key

KEY="eco_YOUR_KEY"; API="https://api.ecohash.com"

curl -s -X POST $API/ssh-keys -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{ \"name\": \"laptop\", \"public_key\": \"$(cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub)\" }"
# → 201 {"id": 52, "name": "laptop", "fingerprint": "SHA256:…", "public_key": "ssh-ed25519 …", "created_at": "…"}
# (DELETE returns 204)

curl -s $API/ssh-keys -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
curl -s -X DELETE $API/ssh-keys/52 -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

public_key is one OpenSSH public key line (ssh-ed25519 … or ssh-rsa …). Removing a key here does not revoke it from instances already running with it; it only stops it being offered for new launches.

To actually use a key on an instance, pass it at launch — see GPU instances → SSH and SSH access.
