There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggestion:
When you create an Ingest key or User key:
-
If the key is for your own use (Ingest key or User key), the full key is visible immediately after creation. Once you leave the screen, only the first 8 characters are displayed in the API Keys UI.
-
If the key is for another user, the full key is never displayed in the UI.
To retrieve the full key after creation:
-
For your own Ingest keys and User keys, click the ellipses (...) next to the key in the API Keys UI, and then copy the Key ID.
-
Use the copied Key ID to query for the full key via NerdGraph.
