Amazon API Gateway - Delete API keys

Question

Can you delete your API keys already created via AWS Management Console's Amazon API Gateway page? Perhaps we can only turn on-off 'Enabled' checkbox?

Answer 1

With the official aws python client you can do

aws apigateway delete-api-key --api-key "MyLoOnGGaNDdObScuEddDKeYYy"

Answer 2

For the time being you have to use the Amazon API Gateway REST API to delete an API key.

Here is a way with Node.js:

• Install aws4 package

  npm install aws4
  

• Use the apikey:delete link relation to delete the API key:

  var https = require('https'),           
      aws4  = require('aws4');
  
  https.request(aws4.sign({
    host  : 'apigateway.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
    method: 'DELETE',
    path  : '/apikeys/<BASE64-API-KEY-VALUE>'
  }, {
    accessKeyId    : '<YOUR-ACCESS-KEY-ID>',
    secretAccessKey: '<YOUR-SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>'
  }), function(res) {
    res.pipe(process.stdout);
  }).end();
