How to rotate an API key in IpQuery.Info

If a key may have been exposed, in a log, a screenshot or a former contractor's laptop, rotate it. Rotation replaces the key's value and keeps its label, settings and history; the old value stops working at once.

Before you start

  • An API key
  • Access to every integration that uses it, to paste in the new value
