How to Restore an API Key

You may accidentally delete one or more of your API keys. This can happen when you delete a user, because doing so causes their associated API keys to disappear.

You can restore either deleted or expired keys, but we only keep the last 1,000 deleted keys. To restore a key, you need to provide its identifier.

When you restore a deleted API key, its validity limit is automatically reset to 0 (unlimited).

Using the API

A key can be restored with the restoreApiKey method.

1
$client->restoreApiKey("107da8d0afc2d225ff9a7548caaf599f");

1
client.restore_api_key('107da8d0afc2d225ff9a7548caaf599f')

  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(content);
});
