Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The authentication guide now explains how to find repository IDs, create scoped access tokens, use the returned metadata, and revoke tokens by ID.

Changes

Scoped token documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document scoped token creation and revocation
docs/docs/api-reference/authentication.mdx
The guide uses repoIds from GET /api/repos, documents token response fields and usage details, and adds a DELETE example for revoking tokens by ID.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8f58c

The documentation still describes repository IDs as generic integers even though the API requires positive integer IDs, which could lead readers to make failed requests. This is a minor, localized documentation issue; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small follow-up to state the constraint.

Scoped access tokens are short-lived bearer credentials intended for clients that should only access a specific set of repositories. Call `GET /api/repos` to find the integer `id` for each repository you want to include. Then create a token with a Sourcebot API key by calling `POST /api/ee/scoped_access_token` with those IDs:

```bash
curl -X POST https://your-sourcebot-instance.com/api/ee/scoped_access_token \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"repos": ["github.com/acme/frontend", "github.com/acme/backend"]}'
-d '{"repoIds": [1, 2, 3]}'

Document the positive integer constraint.

The API contract requires repoIds to contain positive integer Repo.id values. The text says only integer, so it does not document the positive constraint. State positive integer explicitly.

Suggested wording
-Call `GET /api/repos` to find the integer `id` for each repository you want to include.
+Call `GET /api/repos` to find the positive integer `Repo.id` for each repository you want to include.
