kosli delete api-key

Synopsis

kosli delete api-key KEY-ID [KEY-ID...] [flags]

Delete one or more API keys for a service account, or your own personal API keys. This permanently deletes the API key(s) identified by KEY-ID. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. You are asked to confirm before the key is deleted; use --assume-yes/--yes to skip the confirmation prompt. When stdin is not interactive (e.g. in CI) the prompt cannot be answered and the command fails without deleting anything, so pass --assume-yes there. Deleting a key also deletes every key that was created with it. With --personal and an API key as --api-token, you can delete only that key and keys created with it.

Flags

Flag	Type	Description
`-y`, `--assume-yes`	bool	[optional] Skip the confirmation prompt and delete the API key without asking. (alias: `--yes`)
`-D`, `--dry-run`	bool	[optional] Run in dry-run mode. When enabled, no data is sent to Kosli and the CLI exits with 0 exit code regardless of any errors.
`-h`, `--help`	bool	help for api-key
`--personal`	bool	Manage your own personal API keys instead of a service account’s. `--org` is not needed. Either this or `--service-account` is required.
`-s`, `--service-account`	string	The name of the service account whose API keys are managed. Either this or `--personal` is required.

Flags inherited from parent commands

Flag	Type	Description
`-a`, `--api-token`	string	The Kosli API token.
`-c`, `--config-file`	string	[optional] The Kosli config file path. Config is read from this path or the default only, never implicitly from the current directory. (default “$HOME/.kosli.yml”)
`--debug`	bool	[optional] Print debug logs to stdout.
`-H`, `--host`	string	[defaulted] The Kosli endpoint. (default “https://app.kosli.com”)
`--http-proxy`	string	[optional] The HTTP proxy URL including protocol and port number. e.g. `http://proxy-server-ip:proxy-port`
`-r`, `--max-api-retries`	int	[defaulted] How many times should API calls be retried when the API host is not reachable. (default 3)
`--org`	string	The Kosli organization.
`-q`, `--quiet`	bool	[optional] Suppress non-critical warning messages. Errors and normal output are not affected. If both `--quiet` and `--debug` are set, `--debug` wins.
