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 tokens in the InfluxDB UI

  1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Load Data > API Tokens.

  2. Find the token that you would like to delete.

  3. Click the icon located far right of the token description.

  4. Click Confirm to delete the token.

Delete a token using the influx CLI

Use the influx auth delete command to delete a token.

Provide the following flags:

  • --token: API token with permission to delete authorizations
  • --id: Authorization ID to delete (available in the output of influx auth find)
influx auth delete \
  --token 
API_TOKEN
\
--id
AUTHORIZATION_ID
  • Copy
  • Fill window

Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

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

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
# Delete the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
  https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2 \
  --header "Authorization: Token 
API_TOKEN
"
\
--header 'Content-type: application/json' \ | jq .authorizations[0].id \ | xargs -I authid curl --request DELETE \ https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/authid \ --header "Authorization: Token
API_TOKEN
"
