V4.0.2

This command prints application key information.

This is the only time that the application key itself is returned. Listing application keys returns their IDs, but it does not return the secret keys.

The capabilities of this command are passed as a comma-separated list, for example, readFiles,writeFiles. Optionally, you can pass all of the capabilities that are known to this client using the --all-capabilities parameter.

The --duration parameter is the length of time (in seconds) that the new application key will exist. When the time expires, the key disappears and is no longer usable. If you do not specify this parameter, the key does not expire.

The --bucket parameter is the name of a bucket in the account. When specified, the key allows access only to that bucket.

The --name-prefix parameter restricts file access to files with names that begin with the prefix.

The output is the new application key ID, followed by the application key itself. The two values that are returned are the two values that you pass to the Account Authorize command to use the key.

b2 key create [-h] [--bucket BUCKET] [--name-prefix NAME_PREFIX]
