APIs for the RESTless

Exe.dev offers a unified command-line interface and API for creating virtual machines, utilizing a Unix-like convention that is familiar to its users. A unique feature is the ability to mint bearer tokens using SSH keys, allowing users to set restrictions and generate tokens without direct interaction with the service provider. The process involves creating a permissions JSON and using an SSH key to sign tokens, which are encoded with URL-safe base64. These self-minted tokens can be used for executing commands like "whoami" and provide functionalities such as scopes, expiry, and revocation by associating them with specific SSH keys. Additionally, exe.dev's VMs include an authentication proxy, allowing users to create bearer tokens scoped to individual VMs for secure access without the need for manual login or cookie manipulation. This system provides a flexible and secure way to manage API access, with more details available in their comprehensive documentation.
