# Revoke and regenerate a Snyk API token

How to revoke and regenerate a Snyk API token, and the effect on integrations

{% hint style="info" %}
**Snyk is rolling out a new navigation.** The steps on this page describe the classic interface. If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface.

## Revoke and regenerate a Snyk API token

{% hint style="warning" %}
When an API token is revoked, all integrations using that key immediately stop working. Proceed with caution!
{% endhint %}

If you suspect an API token has been leaked, it is good practice to revoke that token and generate a new one to use in its place.

To revoke your Snyk user API token, navigate to your personal General Account Settings in the Snyk Web UI at [app.snyk.io/account](https://app.snyk.io/account).

Click the **Revoke & Regenerate** button to revoke your API token. A new one will be generated in its place. You can now copy the newly generated API token and update integrations that used the old token.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-api/authentication-for-api/revoke-and-regenerate-a-snyk-api-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
