Delete AuthKeys

DELETE https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key

Use this endpoint to delete your account's AuthKey.

Danger

Deleting an AuthKey voids all associated Request Tokens. Deleting an AuthKey does not affect validated domains (that is, deleting a key does not void completed domain validations).

Additionally, if you have multiple AuthKeys assigned to your account, you can delete a specific AuthKey from your account by providing its unique identifier. This ID can be obtained using the List AuthKeys endpoint. Both active and expired AuthKeys can be deleted. To delete AuthKeys, use the following method and URL:

DELETE https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key/{auth_key_id}

Example requests and responses

Example 1. cURL (single AuthKey)
curl -X DELETE \
  https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-DC-DEVKEY: {{api_key}}'

Example 2. cURL (multiple AuthKeys)
curl -X DELETE \
  https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key/{auth_key_id} \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-DC-DEVKEY: {{api_key}}'

Example 3. Python
import requests

url = "https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key"

payload = ""
headers = {
    'X-DC-DEVKEY': "{{api_key}}",
    'Content-Type': "application/json"
    }

response = requests.request("DELETE", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

Example 4. Go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

	url := "https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key"

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("DELETE", url, nil)

	req.Header.Add("X-DC-DEVKEY", "{{api_key}}")
	req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

	fmt.Println(res)
	fmt.Println(string(body))

}

Example 5. NodeJS
var request = require("request");

var options = { method: 'DELETE',
  url: 'https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key',
  headers: 
   { 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
     'X-DC-DEVKEY': '{{api_key}}' } };

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);

  console.log(body);
});
