> Summary: Neon Organization API endpoints for managing org API keys, members, invitations, and project transfers. Organization API keys are auto-scoped to the org; personal API keys require an explicit org_id parameter. Some operations, including creating invitations, removing members, and transferring projects, require a personal admin key and reject organization API keys. A permission matrix maps each endpoint to its supported key type.

# Manage organizations using the Neon API

Learn how to manage Neon Organizations using the Neon API, including managing organization API keys, working with organization members, and handling member invitations.

## Personal vs organization API keys

You can authorize your API requests using either of these methods:

- **Organization API key**: Automatically scopes all requests to your organization
- **Personal API key**: Requires including an `org_id` parameter to specify which organization you're working with

The key difference is in how you structure your API requests. Here's an example of listing projects using both methods:

Using an organization API key:

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY'
```

Using a personal API key:

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects?org_id=org-example-12345678' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY'
```

Both examples retrieve a list of projects, but notice how the personal API key request includes `org_id=org-example-12345678` to specify which organization's projects to list. With an organization API key, this parameter isn't needed because the key itself is already tied to a specific organization.

### Matrix of operations and key types

Some operations require a personal API key from an organization admin and cannot be performed using organization API keys. These operations are marked with ❌ in the matrix below.

## Finding your org_id

To find your organization's `org_id`, navigate to your Organization's **Settings** page, where you'll find it under the **General information** section. Copy and use this ID in your API requests.

![finding your organization ID from the settings page](https://neon.com/docs/manage/orgs_id.png)

## Create API keys

There are two types of organization API keys:

- **Organization API keys**: Provide admin-level access to all organization resources, including projects, members, and settings. Only organization Admins can create these keys.
- **Project-scoped organization API keys**: Provide [**Editor** access](https://neon.com/docs/manage/user-permissions#per-project-permissions) to a single project within the organization, so they can read and modify project resources but can't delete the project or manage who can access it. Only organization Admins can create these keys.

If you're an Editor, Viewer, or Collaborator, create a personal API key instead; it's scoped to your own access.

The key token is only displayed once at creation time. Copy it immediately and store it securely. If lost, you'll need to revoke the key and create a new one. For detailed instructions, see [Manage API Keys](https://neon.com/docs/manage/api-keys#create-an-organization-api-key).

Organization API key creation (`POST /organizations/{org_id}/api_keys`) is rate limited to 10 requests per second. If you create keys in bulk, throttle your requests or use retries with backoff.

## List API keys

Lists all API keys for your organization. The response does not include the actual key tokens, as these are only provided when creating a new key.

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/api_keys' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY' | jq
```

## List members

Retrieves a paginated list of members for the specified organization. Each entry includes the member ID, user ID, organization role, join date, and the user's email. Member objects may include optional `has_mfa` and `deactivated_at` fields.

- `has_mfa`: Whether the member has TOTP (2FA) enabled.
- `deactivated_at`: Timestamp indicating the member account is deactivated.

You can sort by `email`, `role`, or `joined_at` (default), set `sort_order` to `asc` or `desc`, and use `limit` (1–500) to control page size. Use the `cursor` from the response `pagination.next` to fetch the next page.

**Example: list members with sorting and pagination**

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/members?limit=20&sort_by=joined_at&sort_order=desc' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY' | jq
```

**Example: next page (using cursor from previous response)**

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/members?limit=20&sort_by=joined_at&sort_order=desc&cursor=eyJtZW1iZXJfaWQiOi...' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY' | jq
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "members": [
    {
      "member": {
        "id": "abc123de-4567-8fab-9012-3cdef4567890",
        "user_id": "def456gh-7890-1abc-2def-3ghi4567890j",

**Note:** The member ID (`id`) from this response is needed for operations like updating roles or removing members.

## Get member details

Retrieves information about a specific member using their member ID (obtained from the [List members](https://neon.com/docs/manage/orgs-api#list-members) endpoint).

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/members/{member_id}' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY'
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "id": "abc123de-4567-8fab-9012-3cdef4567890",
  "user_id": "def456gh-7890-1abc-2def-3ghi4567890j",
  "org_id": "org-example-12345678",
  "role": "admin",
  "joined_at": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z"
}
```

## Update member role

Changes a member's current role in the organization. If using your personal API key, you need to be an admin in the organization to perform this action. Note: you cannot downgrade the role of the organization's only admin.

Valid roles are `admin`, `editor`, `viewer`, and `collaborator`. The value `member` is still accepted as a legacy alias for `editor`. A member's organization role sets their baseline access on every project; to change their access on a single project, see [Manage project access](https://neon.com/docs/manage/orgs-api#manage-project-access).

```bash
curl --request PATCH \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/members/{member_id}' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"role": "editor"}' | jq
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "id": "abc123de-4567-8fab-9012-3cdef4567890",
  "user_id": "def456gh-7890-1abc-2def-3ghi4567890j",
  "org_id": "org-example-12345678",
  "role": "editor",
  "joined_at": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z"
}
```

## Remove member

You must use your personal API key and have admin-level permissions in the organization to use this endpoint. Organization API keys are not supported.

```bash
curl --request DELETE \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/members/{member_id}' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY'
```

## List invitations

Retrieves a list of all pending invitations for the organization.

```bash
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/invitations' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY' | jq
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "invitations": [
    {
      "id": "abc123de-4567-8fab-9012-3cdef4567890",
      "email": "user@example.com",
      "org_id": "org-example-12345678",
      "invited_by": "def456gh-7890-1abc-2def-3ghi4567890j",
      "invited_at": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
      "role": "editor"
    }
  ]
}
```

[Try in API Reference](https://neon.com/docs/reference/api/organizations/get-organization-invitations)

## Create invitations

Creates invitations for new organization members. Specify the organization role each invited user should get (`admin`, `editor`, `viewer`, or `collaborator`). Each invited user:

- Receives an email notification about the invitation
- If they have an existing Neon account, they automatically join with the role you specified
- If they don't have an account yet, the email invites them to create one

You must use your personal API key and have admin-level permissions in the organization to use this endpoint. Organization API keys are not supported.

```bash
curl --request POST \
     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/organizations/{org_id}/invitations' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer $PERSONAL_API_KEY' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{
       "invitations": [
         {
           "email": "user@example.com",
           "role": "editor"
         }
       ]
     }' | jq
```

## Transfer projects between organizations

The API supports transferring projects between organizations. For detailed instructions and examples, see [Transfer projects to an organization](https://neon.com/docs/manage/orgs-project-transfer).

Key requirements:

- Must use a personal API key
- Requires Admin in the source organization, and a role that can create projects in the target (Admin, Editor, or Viewer)

[Try in API Reference](https://neon.com/docs/reference/api/organizations/transfer-projects-from-org-to-org)

## Manage project access

For organizations on the [new permissions model](https://neon.com/docs/manage/user-permissions), you can list project members and set or remove a member's project role through the API. See [Manage project access with the API](https://neon.com/docs/manage/user-permissions#manage-project-access-with-the-api) for endpoints and examples.
