# Retrieve / update / delete an API key

> GET, PATCH, DELETE /web-tracking/sites/{site_id}/api-keys/{pk}/

Manages a single tracking-site API key. Use `PATCH` with `is_active: false` to deactivate a key without deleting its record (e.g. to free up a slot under the 2-active-key limit while keeping history).

<Note>
  Requires the account's `CONVERSION_TRACKING` quota. The raw key value is never returned again after [generation](/api-reference/management-api/web-tracking/api-key-generate) — only `prefix` is exposed here.
</Note>

<ParamField path="site_id" type="integer" required>
  Tracking site ID.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="pk" type="integer" required>
  API key ID.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="name" type="string">
  New label (PATCH).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="is_active" type="boolean">
  Deactivate/reactivate the key (PATCH) — a deactivated key stops authenticating server-events requests.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL Deactivate theme={null}
  curl --request PATCH \
    --url 'https://api.scanova.io/web-tracking/sites/7/api-keys/5/' \
    --header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"is_active": false}'
  ```
</RequestExample>

`204` on delete, `404` if `site_id`/`pk` isn't owned by this account.

    The complete Scanova Management API — every endpoint available at
    api.scanova.io (QR codes, folders, tags, leads, forms, analytics, plans,
    shared users & roles), plus the token-creation and usage-stats endpoints
    used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response shape below
    was verified live against a real API key and the actual running backend
    (Phase 7, 2026-08-16) — not guessed from reading urls.py alone.

      description: >-
        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
