Overview
This guide walks you through the process of deleting or rotating an API key in your account.
Note: Deleting an API key can cause potential downtime, so please plan accordingly. If you are not using a second key in your account yet, you can create a new one before deleting the existing key, which will solve this issue.
Prerequisites
- A user account has already been set up for you
- A key has already been generated for your account that needs to be removed or updated
