**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/scaleway/scaleway-ssh-keys-api/  
**Provider:** Scaleway — https://apis.io/providers/scaleway/  
**Documentation:** https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/instances/

Scaleway SSH Keys API is one of 74 APIs that [Scaleway](https://apis.io/providers/scaleway/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include SSH Keys. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

An SSH Key (**S**ecure **Sh**ell Key) allows passwordless connection to an [Instance](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/instances/concepts/#instance). An SSH Key is [generated by creating an RSA key pair](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/console/my-project/how-to/create-ssh-key/), consisting of a sensitive **identification key**, (aka private key) which must be stored securely, and a **public key** which is uploaded to the Scaleway interface. The public key is kept in your Scaleway account and transferred to the Instance during the boot process, while the identification key is kept securely on your local computer. When connecting to the Instance via SSH, a trusted connection to the machine is established using the key pair.
