Delete a token using the influx CLI

Use the influx auth delete command to delete a token.

This command requires an auth ID, which is available in the output of influx auth find.

# Syntax
influx auth delete -i <auth-id>

# Example
influx auth delete -i 03a2bee5a9c9a000

Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

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

{{< api-endpoint method="DELETE" endpoint="http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/AUTH_ID" api-ref="/influxdb/version/api/#operation/DeleteAuthorizationsID" >}}

Include the following in your request:

# Delete the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
  "http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2" \
  --header "Authorization: Token ${INFLUX_OP_TOKEN}" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json' \
| jq .authorizations[0].id \
| xargs -I authid curl --request DELETE \
  http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/authid \
  --header "Authorization: Token ${INFLUX_OP_TOKEN}" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json'
