Revocation is irreversible — rotate instead if the key should keep working with a new secret. Revoking an already-revoked key is a no-op that returns the current metadata. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /apiKeys/{apiKeyId}/revoke openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Cactal API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The Cactal public API.
