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

3. Delete Key
   Next, click on the vertical ellipsis menu for the key you want to delete.
