# Delete Api Key

`DELETE /delete-api-key`

Delete an API key belonging to the caller's active team.

Keys are team-bound and shared, but managing them is gated by the team
role matrix: only members holding ``CREATE_API_KEYS`` (owner, admin,
editor) may delete a team key. Viewer and billing members are rejected
with 403.
