Delete a token

Delete API tokens using the InfluxDB user interface (UI), influx command line interface (CLI), or InfluxDB API. Once deleted, all users and external integrations using the API token will no longer have access to your InfluxDB instance.

Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

Use the /api/v2/authorizations InfluxDB API endpoint to delete a token.

{{< api-endpoint method="DELETE" endpoint="https://{{< influxdb/host >}}/api/v2/authorizations/{AUTH_ID}" api-ref="/influxdb/v2/api/#operation/DeleteAuthorizationsID" >}}

Include the following in your request:

• Headers:
  • Authorization: Token API_TOKEN (API token with the write: authorizations permission)
  • Content-type: application/json
• Path parameters:
  • authID: Authorization ID to delete

{{% code-placeholders "API_TOKEN" %}}

# Delete the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
  https://{{< influxdb/host >}}/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2 \
  --header "Authorization: Token API_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json' \
| jq .authorizations[0].id \
