# GET /private/reset_api_key

`GET /private/reset_api_key`

Generates a new secret key for an existing API key while keeping the same key ID and other properties. This is useful if the secret has been compromised or needs to be rotated for security purposes.

The old secret becomes invalid immediately, and the new secret is returned in the response. Store the new secret securely as it will not be displayed again. All applications using the old secret will need to be updated with the new secret.
