query Parameters

friendly_name	string A friendly name for the new key. This parameter defaults to the key's type, creation date, and creation time. Example: friendly_name=TestKey
keysize	integer Deprecated Default: 2048 The key's modulus size. Note: Use the `keytype` parameter. Example: keysize=2048
keytype	string The key's type. `system` — The system's default value. `rsa-2048` — 2,408-bit RSA. `rsa-4096` — 4,096-bit RSA. `ecdsa-prime256v1` — ECDSA prime256v1 ("P-256"). `ecdsa-secp384r1` — ECDSA secp384r1 ("P-384"). This parameter defaults to the user's default SSL/TLS key type. Note: If you do not use this parameter, the system defaults to the `keysize` parameter's default value. Enum: "system" "rsa-2048" "rsa-4096" "ecdsa-prime256v1" "ecdsa-secp384r1" Example: keytype=rsa-2048
