API Key Rules

Maor — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 13:38:03 GMT

Hi guys!

I am running my companies integration with the Cisco Meraki dashboard and I would like to know if there are rules for the API Key? I mean, what can I expect in terms of: minimum and maximum length, special characters, lower and upper caps, etc.

Thanks!

So far all the ones I have are 40 characters long hexadecimal lowercase, i.e 0-9 and a-f,

A key will work until the Administrator who created it revokes it.

If the Admin in question is removed as an Admin from any Organization (Org), that key will no longer work within that Org. If he/she remains an Admin in other Orgs, it would continue to work in those..
