How to restore an API key

You may accidentally delete one or more of your API keys. This can happen when you delete a user, because doing so causes their associated API keys to disappear.

You can restore either deleted or expired keys, but Algolia only keeps the last 1,000 deleted keys.

When you restore a deleted API key, Algolia automatically resets its validity limit to 0 (unlimited).

Using the API

You can restore a key with the restoreApiKey method.

1
$client->restoreApiKey("myAPIKey");

1
client.restore_api_key('myAPIKey')

3
client.restoreApiKey('myAPIKey').then(() => {
  // done
});

1
client.restore_api_key('myAPIKey')

1
client.RestoreApiKey("myAPIKey");

1
client.restoreApiKey("myAPIKey");

1
res, err := client.RestoreAPIKey("myAPIKey")

3
client.execute {
  restore key "myAPIKey"
}

Using the Algolia dashboard

You can also restore API keys in your Algolia dashboard with the following steps:

1. Go to your dashboard’s API keys section.
2. Click the All API Keys tab.
3. Click the Restore API Key button, insert your API key, then click Restore.
