How to Reset (Regenerate) Your API Key

If your API key was exposed or you want a new one, you can regenerate it in the dashboard.

When to regenerate

The key was published by accident (in a public repository, a screenshot, browser code).
You suspect someone else is using it.
A person with access to the key left your team.
Your security policy requires periodic rotation.

How to regenerate

Log in at https://app.templated.io
In the left sidebar, click API Key (direct link: https://app.templated.io/api-key).
Click Regenerate API Key.
Confirm with Yes, regenerate.
Copy the new key with the copy button.

Who can do it

The API Key page is visible to team members with the Owner, Admin or Developer role. If you don't see API Key in the sidebar, ask your team owner.

The key belongs to the team. All members use the same key, so regenerating it affects everyone on the team.

Important: the old key stops working immediately

After you regenerate, every request with the old key fails with "API key not valid. Please check your Authorization header." Update the key everywhere you use it:

Server environment variables and your own applications
Zapier connections
Make connections
n8n credentials
MCP connections that use ?apiKey= in the URL or the TEMPLATED_API_KEY setting

Then create a test render to confirm everything works.

Can I have more than one API key?

No. Each team has one API key. If you need separate keys for different environments, use separate Templated accounts.
