Delete an API Key
Deleting a key is required before you can create a new one.
Deletion is necessary when you are ready to rotate your keys for security purposes, or if you have lost your API_KEY_ID or API_KEY_SECRET and need to generate new ones. ScienceIO API keys do not expire.
Deletion is permanent.
Any ScienceIO API call made using a deleted key will fail, so make sure the key is no longer in use. Deleted API keys cannot be recovered.
- Visit app.science.io and click Login to access the Dashboard.
- In the upper right corner, click your initial and then select Account.
- Navigate to the “API Keys” section at the bottom of the page. Click the Trashcan icon beside the key you wish to delete. Then, in the pop-up box, enter "delete" in the text input field and click Delete to confirm.
- If you wish to generate a new key, you will now be able to click Create an API Key. Copy these keys to a secure location before you close the window, as they will not display again.
