# Delete an API key

> Use CometAPI DELETE /api/token/{id} to delete one API key by ID for the authenticated account.

Use this endpoint to delete an API key by ID.

<Note>
  Generate a personal access token at [Console → Personal Settings](https://www.cometapi.com/console/personal), then send it as the raw `Authorization` header value. Do not prefix it with `Bearer`.
</Note>

After deletion, the key can no longer be used for model requests. The response only confirms whether the deletion succeeded.

The `id` path parameter is the numeric key ID returned by [List API keys](./list-api-keys). Deleting a key is permanent for that key value; create a new API key if the integration needs credentials again.
