+### apt_key
+
+A native Puppet type and provider for managing GPG keys for APT is provided by
+this module.
+
+ apt_key { 'puppetlabs':
+ ensure => 'present',
+ id => '4BD6EC30',
+ }
+
+You can additionally set the following attributes:
+
+ * `source`: HTTP, HTTPS or FTP location of a GPG key or path to a file on the
+ target host;
+ * `content`: Instead of pointing to a file, pass the key in as a string;
+ * `server`: The GPG key server to use. It defaults to *keyserver.ubuntu.com*;
+ * `keyserver_options`: Additional options to pass to `--keyserver`.
+
+Because it is a native type it can be used in and queried for with MCollective.
