# Rotate your API key

> Creates a new key with the same scopes as the key that signs this request, and returns it once. Store it straight away: it is never shown again.

The old key keeps working for `overlap_seconds` (24 hours by default, 60 seconds to 7 days), so you can roll the new key out without a failed request. After the overlap the old key answers 401.

A key can be rotated once. Rotating a key that is already in its overlap window answers 409 `key_rotation_in_progress`; rotate with the new key instead. Rotation is not idempotent: a retry after a lost answer creates another key. Any scope may rotate its own key.

  title: NoResponse API
  version: '1'
  description: >-
    The NoResponse API assesses a signup, login or purchase and answers with the
    account's one current risk: a 0 to 100 score, a decision for the flow
    (`allow`, `step_up`, `review` or `block`), the reasons behind it and the
    decision for each flow. The assessment's own facts, such as its status,
    confidence and incomplete sources, sit under `detail`.


    Authenticate every request with your API key as `Authorization: Bearer
    nrk_...`. Call the API only from your backend.

        Your API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. A key is
        `nrk_live_` or `nrk_test_`, a 26-character key id, `_` and a
        43-character secret. A key sees only its own environment's data.


        Each key has one or more scopes: `assess` creates and reads assessments,
        records outcomes and reports key usage; `history` reads assessments, an
        account's current risk and an account's history, and erases an account;
        `detailed` adds the detailed view; `webhooks` registers, tests, rotates
        and deletes webhook endpoints; `integrations` registers and manages
        hosted provider integrations. A missing, unknown, revoked or expired key
        answers 401. A valid key without the scope an operation needs answers
        403.
