What changed

Add the missing Partner API setup and go-live guides. They cover tenant keys, the system Space, issuer activation, customer scope, plans and usage, webhooks, branding, and test-to-live verification. Update authentication and SDK docs to point partners to the right credential and client.

Verification

  • bun run check
  • bun run validate
  • bun run build
  • bun run audit
  • bun run verify:public-safety
  • bun run verify:prose
  • bun run verify:routes

The generated reference snapshot is producer-owned and is not changed by this authored-guide PR. It needs a separate refresh from the deployed API release.

The API documentation now covers partner customer JWTs and the Partner API, including tenant setup, customer operations, events, branding, SDK entry points, and test-to-live promotion checks.

Changes

Partner API documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partner credentials and SDK entry points

Authentication guidance describes partner customer JWTs, and the SDK reference lists Partner API client, query, and OpenAPI entry points.
Partner API guide and navigation

The API navigation adds the Partner API section. Its guide covers tenant setup, customer operations, events, and branding.
Partner test and live operations

The guide describes test and live tenant separation, test-journey checks, configuration promotion, and live-traffic verification.

Partners may misread how to use a customer JWT or encounter a recoverable issuer-activation failure when setting up both tenants. Clarify both guides; the remaining risk is bounded.

## Activate your token issuer

Your server owns an Ed25519 private key. Put only the public key and a stable HTTPS issuer identifier in `system.tokenIssuers`. Publish once, then read the `tokenIssuers` manifest item from `GET /v1/tenants/{tenantId}`. It returns a Spacefast audience and a challenge while the issuer is pending. Sign a short-lived proof with your private key, add that proof to the declaration, and publish again. The template and both starters include the key and proof commands.

P1 Badge Document the issuer proof value the API actually returns

In the checked generated/openapi/partner.json response schema for GET /v1/tenants/{tenantId}, each manifestStatus.items entry exposes only key, state, detail, since, and audience; there is no challenge field, and the schema instead says the audience is signed for activation. A partner following this core setup step therefore cannot obtain the advertised challenge to build the second manifest, so document the actual proof input and where it is returned.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L8-L9

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.


Ask Spacefast to provision a partner account. Provisioning creates separate live and test tenants and gives you one tenant-rooted `partner_admin` API key for each. Save each secret when it is issued. A team API key cannot grant itself `partner_admin`, and your customer browser must never receive a management key.

The key's tenant ID is the path ID for `GET /v1/tenants/{tenantId}`. That response reports the tenant's mode, provisioning mode, system Space, brand, and `manifestStatus`. A key can read only its own tenant. You can create narrower tenant keys with `POST /v1/tenants/{tenantId}/api-keys`; creation returns the secret once. Rotate by creating a replacement, switching callers, and revoking the old key.

P2 Badge Use the declared API-key creation route

The checked Partner OpenAPI snapshot has no POST /v1/tenants/{tenantId}/api-keys operation; narrower partner-scoped keys are created through the declared POST /v1/api-keys flow using a partner scope and permissions. Anyone following this onboarding or rotation instruction will call a nonexistent route instead of receiving a replacement secret, so point the step at the shipped route and body.

## Add your brand

Start with `system.presentation`. Add claim and access handoff origins only after those pages can complete their customer flows. Custom site hostnames need DNS ownership and HTTPS serving. A custom API origin also needs an HTTPS gateway that forwards to Spacefast and overwrites `x-spacefast-tenant-id` with your tenant ID. Check `GET /v1/tenants/{tenantId}/api-origin-verification` and actual requests through that gateway. A `pending` manifest item is not an active custom origin.

P2 Badge Replace the nonexistent API-origin verification route

Neither checked OpenAPI snapshot nor any other repository source defines GET /v1/tenants/{tenantId}/api-origin-verification; API-origin state is represented through the tenant's manifest materialization instead. A partner using the optional gateway flow will get a 404 at this required verification step, so replace it with the shipped status/check mechanism.

Partner `JWTs` have no Spacefast prefix. The API recognizes their signed `at+jwt` profile. See [Partner API](/api/partners) for issuer activation and customer scope.

Clarify no-prefix partner JWT routing.

The table assigns no-prefix tokens to sessions and OAuth, but the next paragraph states that partner JWTs also have no prefix. Explain that the signed at+jwt profile routes partner JWTs separately, and update the no prefix row to include this distinction.

Require different issuer URLs for test and live.

The setup guide describes one stable issuer identifier but does not state that test and live tenants need different issuer URLs. The go-live page contains this requirement, but users can activate both issuers before reaching that page. Reusing the URL causes the second activation to fail with 409, which blocks customer JWT issuance in that tenant.

Folded into #47: its authentication, API index, and SDK entry points are there now, next to the fuller guides for tokens, configuration, customers, and go-live. The generated snapshot is in #54.
