​
Overview

Toggle the active status of a proxy key between enabled and disabled states. This provides a non-destructive way to temporarily revoke access without losing the key’s configuration.

​
Path Parameters

​
proxy_key
string
required
The proxy key ID to toggle (starts with ek-proxy-)

​
Response Fields

​
message
string
Confirmation message that the status was updated
​
status
boolean
The new status of the proxy key (true = active, false = inactive)

​
Behavior

The toggle endpoint switches the proxy key between two states:
  • Active (true): The proxy key can be used for API requests
  • Inactive (false): The proxy key is rejected with authentication errors

​
Use Cases

Temporary Suspension

Quickly disable access during maintenance or investigations

Conditional Access

Enable/disable keys based on business logic or schedules

Security Response

Immediately block suspicious activity without permanent deletion

Testing

Safely test key revocation and restoration workflows

​
Advantages Over Deletion

​
Example Workflow

Python - Automated Key Management
import httpx
import time

def toggle_proxy_key(api_key: str, proxy_key_id: str) -> bool:
    """Toggle proxy key status and return new status"""
    client = httpx.Client()
    response = client.post(
        f"https://api.electronhub.ai/v1/auth/proxy/toggle/{proxy_key_id}",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
    )
    result = response.json()
    return result["status"]

# Disable key during maintenance window
proxy_key_id = "ek-proxy-1234567890abcdef"
new_status = toggle_proxy_key(api_key, proxy_key_id)
print(f"Key disabled: {not new_status}")

# Perform maintenance...
time.sleep(60)

# Re-enable key after maintenance
new_status = toggle_proxy_key(api_key, proxy_key_id) 
print(f"Key re-enabled: {new_status}")
