Renewing API Access Keys
To renew an API access key, you must belong to the API Runtime Provider role.
After an API access key is generated, sometimes you might have to renew the old key due to expiration or security concerns. You can also change expiration period for the access key or set it so that the key never expires.
Note:
The Renew functionality is not supported for the OAuth 2.0 access tokens.
To renew an API access key, make sure that:
You have configured the API key authentication using the
API Consumption Settings action in the details page of the asset.
A gateway instance is up and running.
