General

You create API keys in Switch Trust, and each token is shown only once, when you create it.
  1. Go to Settings, then under Admin select API keys.
  2. Select Create key, then name it, choose its role, and set an expiration.
  3. Select Create key again to generate the token, then copy it right away — it isn’t shown again.

They’re complementary tools:
  • Switch Trust CLI - Local scanning and evaluation tool that runs on your machine
  • Switch Trust - Hosted service that provides continuous discovery, evaluation, monitoring, and runtime protection across your organization
You can use them together: the CLI for local validation, Switch Trust for team-wide visibility and protection.
