Revoking or replacing an API key

Edit online

If your Concert API key is jeopardized or lost, you can revoke the previous key and generate a new one.

Warning: API keys are unique identifiers that grant access to certain aspects of your Concert instance and configurations. Always store API keys securely and limit access authorized individuals in order to prevent unauthorized requests or security-related risk to your data. You cannot recover an API key if it is lost; in this case, you must generate a new one.

Instructions

Refer to the following instructions to revoke a new API key in the Concert UI. Optionally, you can then generate a new API key to replace it.

  1. Click the key icon in the upper right corner of the Concert UI.
  2. Click Revoke API key.

The API key generated previously is deactivated and will no longer work when used to authenticate API requests. If needed, you can create Generate new API key to replace the one you just revoked.
