Delete a token

Delete API tokens from the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the influx command line interface (CLI). 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.
  1. Find the token that you would like to delete.
  2. Click the icon located far right of the token description.
  3. Click Confirm to delete the token.

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.

DELETE http://localhost:8086/api/v2/authorizations/AUTH_ID

Include the following in your request:

Requirement Include by
API token with the write: authorizations permission Use the Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN header.
Authorization ID URL path parameter.
# 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'

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
