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.

Log in to the ScienceIO 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.
