# Build on your documents

Source: https://nordvec.com/product/api

This file is rendered from the same message catalogue as the page, at request time; the HTML page is the canonical document. Statements about the processing chain are bound to the claim record at https://nordvec.com/api/trust/claims, which says which of them the register currently supports.

Public API

Search, ask and push documents over a documented API, with keys that a workspace owner or administrator creates and revokes.

## What a key can do

*In the product*

### Two kinds of key

A client key searches and chats, and an indexing key pushes documents in.

### Reads what is shared

A key reads what is shared with the whole workspace and what it indexed itself, and nothing else.

### Scoped and time-bound

Each key carries only the scopes you grant, and can expire or accept calls from listed network addresses only.

### Created by an owner

Only a workspace owner or administrator creates a key, and in a workspace of one, that is you.

### Shown once

The secret is shown once, and a rotation keeps the old one valid for a grace period you choose.

## Where a request is answered

*Where the data goes*

An API request reads the same stores as the application: Documents stored in the EU, AI processing in France.
