Every field is optional; bindings are replaced outright, and the response is exactly what a subsequent GET returns. You may update your own keys; organization admins may update any key in the organization. Bindings can never exceed the access of the member the key belongs to, and a key can grant at most what the key making the request holds. The token itself never changes. ## OpenAPI ````yaml PATCH /api/v1/api-keys/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: LangWatch API description: LangWatch openapi spec version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://app.langwatch.ai security: - project_api_key: [] paths: /api/v1/api-keys/{id}: patch: tags: - API Keys summary: Update an API key description: >- Update an API key's name, description, permission mode, permissions or bindings.
