# GET /private/remove_api_key

`GET /private/remove_api_key`

Permanently deletes an API key from your account. This operation cannot be undone. Once removed, the API key can no longer be used to authenticate requests, and all applications using this key will lose access.

Consider disabling the key first if you want to temporarily suspend access, as disabled keys can be re-enabled later.
