# Auth

API Keys have various scopes permissions and belong to a specific Team or Environment.

Any valid Honeycomb ingest or configuration API Key will work with this endpoint. Learn more about [API keys](https://docs.honeycomb.io/get-started/best-practices/api-keys).

These endpoints can be used to validate authentication for a key, to determine what authorizations have been granted
to a key, and to determine the Team and Environment that a key belongs to.
