Ory Talos API

Ory Talos is a high-performance static credential management service. It handles the full credential lifecycle: issuing keys, verifying them at low latency, deriving short-lived tokens (JWT and Macaroon), and revoking access.

The API is split into two services:

  • StaticCredentials — admin operations: key lifecycle (issue, rotate, revoke, import, derive tokens, JWKS) and verification
  • SelfService — self-service revocation for credential holders
  • Admin Plane — Key lifecycle management (issue, rotate, revoke, import, derive tokens, JWKS)
  • Data Plane — High-performance verification (single, batch, self-revoke)
