Reissue an Application Key

Reissue a key for an application from its Overview page.

A unique application key is created for each application. This key can be passed in a header or as a query parameter with the request for APIs that require it. Analytics metrics are aggregated for requests sent with an application key. Reissue an application key when the existing key is compromised. When you reissue a key, requests to APIs the application is subscribed to may fail until they are sent using the new key. Analytics are also not aggregated for requests sent with the old key.

You must be issued the Manage Application grant for an application to reissue its key.

Management Portal administrators can choose to hide application keys in the Developer Portal. You cannot reissue an application key if it is not displayed in the Developer Portal.

  1. Click the My Applications tab.
  2. Click the application for which you want to reissue the key.
  3. Hover the mouse over the existing key, and then click Re-issue.
  4. Click Yes.
You’ve reissued the application key. The new key is displayed in the Application Key field. Update your requests to use the new key.
