Activate or deactivate an API key

PATCH/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/api-keys/{id}

Enables or disables an existing API key in the current Environment via the is_active flag. Disabling is reversible: a disabled key is rejected by authentication immediately and can be re-enabled later. Returns the key's metadata with no secret. Returns 404 when no key with the given id exists in the active Environment. A scoped API key can act only on scoped keys whose scopes it holds itself; any other key is refused with 403.

Authentication

Bearer TokenAuthorization

JWT access token. Never send alongside X-API-Key: a request carrying both is refused.

Requires capability api_keys.manageDeveloper Console

Create, edit, rotate, and delete API keys. Granted through an administrator role in the Admin Workspace; a valid token without it is refused with 403.

Path Parameters

accountSlugstring Required

The Account's slug. An unknown one answers 404.

appSlugstring Required

The Application's slug within the Account.

envSlugstring Required

The Environment's slug within the Application.

idstring Required

Request body

application/json

is_activeboolean Required

Whether the key is active. Set `false` to deactivate (the key stops authenticating immediately, reversibly); set `true` to reactivate.

Errors

When the request can't be completed, the response body includes a stable error code you can branch on, and a correlation_id (also sent as the X-Correlation-Id header). Quote the correlation id when you contact support: it identifies the exact request in Canopy's logs.

When it happens

The signed-in user's administrator roles do not grant the capability this endpoint requires.

Remediation

Ask an account administrator to grant a role carrying the capability named in the Authentication section, then retry.
