Delete an Auth Key

Deletes an Auth Key by its stable ID.

DELETEhttps://api2.transloadit.com/auth_keys/{authKeyId}

Request example

Set AUTH_KEY_ID to your resource value without percent-encoding it.

Run this request in a server-side shell with curl and a suitable bearer token in TRANSLOADIT_TOKEN. If you need a token, expand the setup below.

Need a bearer token?

In a trusted server-side shell with curl and jq, set TRANSLOADIT_KEY and TRANSLOADIT_SECRET to your Auth Key and Auth Secret. Keep both credentials and the resulting token secret; never run this setup in browser code.

First, create a token with this endpoint’s required scopes. Your Auth Key must already grant those scopes.

if ! TOKEN_RESPONSE="$(curl --fail-with-body -sS \
  --request POST \
  --url 'https://api2.transloadit.com/token' \
  --user "${TRANSLOADIT_KEY:?Set TRANSLOADIT_KEY}:${TRANSLOADIT_SECRET:?Set TRANSLOADIT_SECRET}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  --data-urlencode 'aud=api2' \
  --data-urlencode 'scope=auth_keys:write')"; then
  printf '%s\n' "$TOKEN_RESPONSE" >&2
  exit 1
fi
TRANSLOADIT_TOKEN="$(printf '%s' "$TOKEN_RESPONSE" |
  jq -er '.access_token | strings | select(length > 0)')" || exit 1

Keep this shell open and run the request below. Reuse the token while it remains valid.

curl --fail-with-body -sS --request DELETE \
  --url "https://api2.transloadit.com/auth_keys/${AUTH_KEY_ID:?Set AUTH_KEY_ID}" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TRANSLOADIT_TOKEN:?Set TRANSLOADIT_TOKEN}" \
  --data-urlencode 'params={}'

Authentication

This endpoint accepts signed params or a bearer token. See Authentication for setup instructions.

Required scope for the Auth Key or bearer token: auth_keys:write.

Signed requests require both a signature and a future params.auth.expires timestamp. Bearer tokens do not require either.

Path parameters

  • authKeyId (path segment), required. pattern: ^[0-9a-f]{32}$, minimum length: 32, maximum length: 32

Form fields

Content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

  • params (JSON string), required. A JSON-encoded object whose supported keys are listed below.

  • signature (string). Required for signed requests. Omit this field when using a bearer token.

Supported keys inside the params field

Authentication fields in this list apply to signed requests. With a bearer token, you can omit params.auth and the separate signature field. Compare the authentication-specific request parameters below.

Complete JSON Schema

params: Only the fields listed for this object are accepted.

FieldType and description

required for signed requests; optional with a bearer token

object

Contains the Transloadit API key and signature-authentication metadata for an Auth Keys request.

params.auth: Only the fields listed for this object are accepted.

params.auth.expires

required

string

ISO 8601 expiration timestamp in the future. Required when a request is signed or requires signature authentication; bearer-authenticated requests may omit it.

params.auth.key

required

string

Transloadit API key used to authenticate requests

params.auth.nonce
string | integer

Unique, random value included in signed request params to make each signature unique and prevent accidental signature reuse.

params.nonce
string | integer

Unique, random value included in signed request params to make each signature unique and prevent accidental signature reuse.

Request parameters by authentication method

With signed params

Include your Auth Key as params.auth.key. When signing the request, include a future params.auth.expires timestamp and send the signature in the separate signature field. The field definitions below use paths inside params.

With a bearer token
