Getting Started

Airlock is fully managed by Network14.cloud — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain. Once your account is provisioned, you call the API directly.

Getting access

There's no self-service signup for a dashboard login — email contact@network14.cloud to request one. Once you're logged in, you're set up with:

Your own dashboard, scoped to your account
Your rate limits (standard limits apply by default — see Rate & Request Limits)

Access keys are self-service. Once you have a dashboard login, create, edit the IP allowlist on, and revoke your own access keys (up to 5 per account) directly from the dashboard — no need to contact us for that part.

Verify you're connected

curl https://airlock.fastapicloud.dev/health

{"status": "ok"}

Your first secret

curl -X POST https://airlock.fastapicloud.dev/api/create-secret/ \
