  title: Keygen Artifacts Licenses API
  description: 'Representative OpenAPI description of the Keygen software licensing, entitlements, and distribution API. Keygen follows the JSON:API specification (https://jsonapi.org): request and response bodies use the media type `application/vnd.api+json` and wrap resources in a top-level `data` object with `type`, `id`, `attributes`, and `relationships`. All endpoints are scoped to an account under `/v1/accounts/{account}`, where `{account}` is the account''s UUID or slug. Authentication is a Bearer token (admin, environment, product, user, or license token) or, for license validation, a license key. This document is a faithful subset intended for discovery; consult keygen.sh/docs/api for the full, authoritative reference.'
