GPG keys API reference

These endpoints are only relevant to private providers. When you publish a private provider to the HCP Terraform private registry, you must upload the public key of the GPG keypair used to sign the release. Refer to Preparing and Adding a Signing Key for more details.

You need owners team or Manage Private Registry permissions to add, update, or delete GPG keys in a private registry.
