Hello,

Can you share the exact API request that you are making?

Usually, to add a new SSH key via the API the request should look as follows:

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name":"My SSH Public Key","public_key":"ssh-rsa AEXAMPLEaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAQQDDHr/jh2Jy4yALcK4JyWbVkPRaWmhck3IgCoeOO3z1e2dBowLh64QAM+Qb72pxekALga2oi4GvT+TlWNhzPH4V example"}' \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account/keys"
