Each API key specifies the following properties:

• id: The ID of the API key.

• key: The API key value that is used to authenticate API requests.

• name: The name of the API key.

• description: An optional description of the API key.

Important: The API key value key is shown only once in the response body when creating an API key. It can't be viewed again for security reasons. The List API Keys endpoint shows only the IDs + names of your API keys for deletion. If you lose your API key, create a new one and delete the old one.
