Invalidate API keys

DELETE /_security/api_key

Invalidates one or more API keys. The manage_api_key privilege allows deleting any API keys. The manage_own_api_key only allows deleting API keys that are owned by the user. In addition, with the manage_own_api_key privilege, an invalidation request must be issued in one of the three formats:

  • Set the parameter owner=true.
  • Or, set both username and realm_name to match the user’s identity.
  • Or, if the request is issued by an API key, i.e. an API key invalidates itself, specify its ID in the ids field.
application/json
