# Revoke a key (/docs/apis/management/keys/RevokeKey)

`PUT /keys/{key_id}/revoke`

Revokes the specified cryptographic key, marking it as untrusted and immediately preventing it from being used for token signing or validation. This operation is irreversible. Previously issued tokens that rely on this key may no longer be considered valid, depending on the validation strategy.

Base URL: `https://{tenant}.{region}.monocloud.com/api`, where `{tenant}`, `{region}` (one of us, eu, in) come from your tenant. Authentication: send your Management API key in the `X-API-KEY` header.

## Parameters

- `key_id` (path) (string, required) The unique identifier of the key.

## Response body

`204`. The key was revoked successfully

## Errors

- `401` Unauthorized

## Example (MonoCloud .NET SDK)

```csharp
using MonoCloud.Management;
using MonoCloud.Management.Core.Base;

var apiClient = new MonoCloudManagementClient(new MonoCloudConfig("<your-domain>", "[[API-Key]]"));


var keyId = "tXcwKNmJfReWTjVIP6Wtd";


var result = await apiClient.Keys.RevokeKeyAsync(keyId);
```

## Example (MonoCloud Javascript SDK)
