Rotate an API key

POST /api/api-keys/{id}/rotate deprecated

Requires: ApiKeyAuthorization.ApiKeys, merchant scope.

Mints a replacement owned by the same user and merchant, with the same access, and returns it with its value revealed. This is the only time that value is shown. The key being rotated keeps authenticating for an overlap window (24 hours by default, seven days at most) so the integration can deploy the replacement without an outage, and is then refused with KEY_REVOKED. To end the overlap sooner, revoke the rotated key: that takes effect on the very next request. Gated on the same permission as revoke, because it is the same decision about the same credential. Refused for a key that has already been revoked or already been rotated.

Try this in the console

Example request

Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.

The request body is a RotateApiKeyDto. See the Request body section below for its fields.
