Enable or disable an API key
On this page
Disable a key to stop it working without losing it, for example during a security review. Enable it again when you are ready. Disabling is also how you retire a key: keys can't be deleted.
Steps
-
Open API keys. Log in and go to simplecold.com/dashboard/api-keys.
-
Find the key in the table.
-
Flip its switch, or open the actions menu and choose Disable or Enable, then confirm.
What changes
| Key state | Requests with the key |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Work as normal. |
| Disabled | Fail with 401 API key is inactive. |
The key's value doesn't change, so integrations work again as soon as you enable it. A disabled key can't be regenerated; enable it first.
