# API accounts

An API account grants access to a number of repositories within your organization. Every API account can have a number of API keys to work with. The API key is used to authenticate against the API service. Having multiple keys allows for easy cycling between API keys on renewal or after revocation.

An API account is bound to a single environment (aka stage). Typically an organization will have an API account for the acceptance environment and an additional one for the production environment. For every additional environment a new API account needs to be requested.
