Update an API Key

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0

Resource

PATCH /orgs/{ORG-ID}/apiKeys/{API-KEY-ID}

Request Path Parameters

Name Type Description
ORG-ID string Unique identifier for the organization whose API keys you want to retrieve. Use the /orgs endpoint to retrieve all organizations to which the authenticated user has access.
API-KEY-ID string Unique identifier for the API key you want to update. Request the /orgs/{ORG-ID}/apiKeys endpoint to retrieve all API keys to which the authenticated user has access for the specified organization.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Description Default
pageNum integer Page number (1-index based). 1
itemsPerPage integer Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500. 100
pretty boolean Indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false
envelope boolean

Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set "envelope" : true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, response body includes:

status HTTP response code
envelope Expected response body

For endpoints that return a list of results, the results object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the status field to the response body.

None
