Revoking an API Key
After issuing an API key, you might want to revoke the API key if you find serious error in the API.
When you revoke an API key, access to the associated API and its resources is blocked when you try to access them using an API key.
To revoke an API key, the following prerequisites must be met:
Ensure that you have configured the API key authentication or OAuth2 authentication using the
API Consumption Settings action in the actions bar for an API, as described in
Configuring the API Consumption
Settings.
Ensure that a gateway instance (for example,
Mediator) is up and running. For information on creating and managing gateways, see
Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
An API key can be revoked by an API provider and an API consumer (who has requested the API key). An API provider can revoke an API key from the Asset Details page. While, an API consumer can revoke an API key from the User Preferences page.
