About Heroku

Iru reads app and dyno configuration, pipelines, add-ons, and team access metadata via the Heroku Platform API using a Bearer token (CLI authorization or account API key).

​
How it works

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
DetailValue
CategoryPaaS / developer tooling
AuthenticationPlatform API token (Bearer)
Heroku tokens are not finely scoped - they inherit everything the generating account can access. Prefer a dedicated account with minimal team membership. Official references: Authentication, Platform API, CLI.

​
Prerequisites

  • Access to the Heroku CLI or dashboard API Key section.
  • Awareness of SSO: tokens may align to shorter session windows - see Heroku docs for --expires-in.

​
Connect Heroku to Iru

​
Heroku

1

Create an API token

CLI (typical): run heroku authorizations:create --description "Iru Compliance" and copy the Token value. Default expiry is often one year; SSO orgs may see shorter lifetimes - adjust with --expires-in when policy allows.Dashboard: Account settings → API Key → Reveal or Regenerate (regeneration invalidates the prior key everywhere).

​
Iru Compliance

1

Open Sources

In Iru Compliance, on the left navigation bar, expand Compliance and select Sources.
Left navigation: Compliance expanded, Sources selected
2

Turn on Heroku

Find Heroku (use Category or Search by name or description). On that card, turn on the toggle. A browser tab or window may open for the connector wizard.
3

Paste the Platform API token

Paste the token into the Bearer field.
4

Confirm the source is Active

Submit until the Heroku card shows Active.

​
Troubleshooting

Check pop-up blocker settings for the Iru site and try again.
Full token; SSO session may require a fresh authorization.
Dashboard regeneration invalidates old tokens - update Iru.
Token’s account must belong to the right teams.

​
Considerations

Iru is read-only: no deploys, scales, or restarts.
