What the agent does
keykeeper providers show railway-api
keykeeper save --provider railway-api --from-clipboard --create --purpose "what this task does"
keykeeper run -c railway-api -- <your command>--provider railway-api fills in the credential id and the field. The environment
variable is the one Railway's own tools read, so nothing has to be mapped.
What only you can do
Sign in to Railway
Choose Account Token or the intended Workspace token
Name the token and record which owner issued it
Copy the key, then approve the save in KeyKeeper's window.
What to choose
Use this broader API token only for work that genuinely spans projects. For one environment use the separate Railway Project token.
The agent is told the same thing. It opens the page for you and says what to pick; it never logs in, passes 2FA or pays on your behalf.
What KeyKeeper checks
- Before writing: the value must look like a Railway · Account API Token key (whether it can be viewed again is unconfirmed). A wrong paste is refused before anything is stored, and the agent is told why — without the value.
- After saving: Railway · Account API Token offers no read-only endpoint KeyKeeper can use, so the first real call is the test.
Rotation and expiry
No universal expiry policy was confirmed for this credential type. Record the date shown by the provider, or leave it unknown. Rotate or revoke at railway.com.
