Question 1

How do I validate a Stripe API key with Keyscope?

Accepted Answer

Use the command `keyscope validate stripe -p $STRIPE_KEY`, where $STRIPE_KEY is your key. The tool checks validity and provides exit codes, as shown in the examples with verbose output for debugging.

Question 2

Can Keyscope handle batch validation from a CSV file?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Keyscope supports batch auditing via CSV input with the `--csv-in` flag. You need to format the CSV with provider names and keys in a specific header row, as described in the 'Audit active keys' section.

Question 3

How to add a custom service provider in Keyscope?

Accepted Answer

Create a YAML definition file following the tutorial in the README, specifying request and response parameters. Then use `keyscope -f your-file.yaml validate` to include it, with examples like the Dropbox provider walkthrough.

Question 4

Keyscope vs writing custom scripts for key validation: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Keyscope saves time with pre-built providers for over 30 services and Rust's reliability, but custom scripts might be better for highly niche APIs or complex logic. Keyscope excels in standardization and batch processing.

Question 5

Does Keyscope work with environment variables for keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can pass keys as parameters or use environment variables in commands, like `keyscope validate github $GITHUB_TOKEN`, making it easy to integrate with shell scripts and CI/CD pipelines.

Question 6

What happens if a service's API changes and Keyscope validation fails?

Accepted Answer

Keyscope relies on YAML definitions; if an API changes, you may need to update the definition manually or contribute back to the project, as it depends on community updates for provider support.
