Azure DevOps API Add public key

Question

I would like to be able to add a public key for SSH access to Azure DevOps via the API but I can't seem to find a way to do it in the doco. Doing it manually via the UI is not feasible since this is for many users and many projects. Thanks

The API is not documented, however we can track it with tools... You can add SSH public keys by calling below REST API:

Write a script to create the SSH keys with the ssh-keygen command for users, please see Use SSH key authentication for details.

Then call the REST API to add the public keys:

POST https://{Account}.visualstudio.com/_details/security/keys/Edit

Content-Type: application/json

Request body:
