How to Delete an API Key

Deleting an API key permanently removes it from your Yellow Card API Dashboard. Any application, integration, or script still using that key loses access to the API immediately, so confirm the key is no longer in use before you delete it.

This action cannot be undone. If you only want to pause a key temporarily, use the Enable toggle on the API Keys page instead of deleting it.

Steps

1. Open the API Keys page

Log in to your Yellow Card dashboard. In the left-hand menu, under Developer tools, select API keys. The page lists every key on your account with its name, date created, public key, secret key, status, and enable toggle.

2. Open the actions menu for the key

Find the key you want to remove in the table. In the Action column at the far right of that row, click the three-dot (⋮) menu, then select the delete option.

3. Confirm the deletion

A confirmation window appears with the message "You are about to delete an API key", along with a reminder that any application or integration using the key will immediately lose access, and that the action cannot be undone.

• Select Delete API key to remove the key permanently.

• Select Cancel, or close the window with the X, if you no longer want to delete it.

4. Check the confirmation message

Once the key is removed, an "API key deleted" notification appears at the top of the page. Click Okay to dismiss it. The API Keys page refreshes, and the deleted key no longer appears in the table.

You have successfully deleted the API Key.
