Restore an API key
You can reactivate a revoked or expired API key through the Developer Console. Update its expiration date to a future date and it becomes active immediately.
How to restore a revoked or expired key
- Go to API keys in the Developer Console
- Click the three dots next to the revoked or expired key
- Select Edit
- Update the expiration date to a future date
The key activates immediately.
Deleted a key by accident?
Unfortunately, deleted keys can't be recovered — they're permanently removed. You'll need to create a new API key and update any integrations using the old one.
Revoke vs. delete — which should I use?
Revoking disables a key without removing it, so you can restore it later if needed. It's the safer option for key rotation, security incidents, or temporary suspension. Deleting is permanent — use it only for keys you're certain you won't need again.
