# Revoke an API key

> Soft-revokes the key by stamping `revokedAt`; the row survives so
audit references stay resolvable. Authentication rejects a revoked
key immediately afterwards.

The update is scoped to keys owned by the calling user **and** not
already revoked. A key that does not exist, belongs to someone else,
or was already revoked all return the same `404`. The handler
deliberately does not distinguish them.

Revoking the key you are currently authenticating with is allowed and
takes effect on the next request.

    This document describes the **API-key-authenticated subset** of the HTTP

    API, meaning the endpoints a CI pipeline, a terminal, or a third-party

    integration is expected to call.


    ## Scope and honesty notes


    * **This is not a frozen contract.** `1.0.0` is a documentation version,
      not a server version. The API is **unversioned in the URL**. There is
      no `/v1` prefix; every router mounts flat under `/api`.
    * **This is a subset.** The app's own SPA calls many more endpoints
      (billing, Polar/Clerk/GitHub webhooks, Slack and GitHub OAuth
      callbacks, fixtures, environments, schedules, alerts, visual
      baselines, run sharing, flakiness, test-data variables, perf budgets,
      role probes, bug reports, org/invite management). Those are
      deliberately **not** documented here: they are either session-oriented,
      provider-signed, or not stable enough to hand to an integrator.
      `PATCH`/`DELETE` on projects and procedures also exist in the code but
      are out of scope for this reference.

    ## Authentication


    Send the API key as an **HTTP Bearer token**:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer tst_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    ```


    Testorim reads exactly one header, `Authorization`, and accepts either

    credential on it:


    1. a value matching `tst_live_…` (prefix + at least 16 more chars) is
       verified as an API key by SHA-256 hash lookup, or
    2. anything else is verified as a Clerk session JWT (the browser path).


    An API key is bound to **one user and one organization**. On every

    request the middleware pins `currentOrg` to the key's org, so a key

    issued for org A can never read or write org B, even when the owning

    user belongs to both. If the user has since been removed from that org,

    the key stops working (`401`).


    Every list and lookup is org-scoped. A resource belonging to another

    organization returns `404`, never `403`, so the API does not leak the

    existence of rows you cannot see.


    ## Role restrictions


    Members of an org with role `viewer` are read-only: any

    non-`GET`/`HEAD`/`OPTIONS` request is rejected with `403` and

    `code: "read_only_role"`. This applies to API-key callers too, because

    the key inherits the user's role in the bound org.


    ## Rate limiting


    Limits are enforced as a sliding window:


    | Limiter | Policy | Keyed by | Applied to |

    | --- | --- | --- | --- |

    | `api:global` | 600 / minute | client IP | every `/api/*` request |

    | `procedure:minute` | 30 / minute | authenticated user id | `POST
    /api/runs/trigger` |

    | `api:read` | 120 / minute | authenticated user id | `GET /api/runs/active`
    |

    | `auth:strict` | 5 / 15 minutes | client IP | **failed** credential checks
    |


    A throttled request returns `429`, a JSON body of

    `{ "error": …, "retryAfter": <seconds> }`, and a `Retry-After` response

    header. **There are no `X-RateLimit-*` headers**. The middleware sets

    only `Retry-After`, so do not write a client that depends on quota

    headers.


    Rate limits are separate from **plan quotas**. Exhausting the

    organization's monthly run allowance also returns `429`, but from

    `checkRunLimit` rather than the limiter, and with no `Retry-After`.


    ## Request body rules


    * JSON bodies are capped at **1 MB**.

    * Any string anywhere in the body containing a NUL byte (`U+0000`)
      rejects the whole request with `400` before it reaches a handler.
    * Bodies are validated with Zod. A schema failure returns `400` with
      `{ "error": "Invalid request body", "issues": [...] }`, where `issues`
      is the raw `ZodError.issues` array.

        Format (`services/api-keys.ts`): the literal prefix `tst_live_`

        Only the SHA-256 hash is stored server-side. The shape check that
        routes a token down the API-key path rather than the Clerk JWT path
        requires the `tst_live_` prefix and a total length of at least 25
        characters.

        Keys are minted in the dashboard at `/settings/team`. The same header
        also accepts a Clerk session JWT, which is how the web app
        authenticates, but the JWT path is out of scope for this document.
