# GET /api/v1/api-keys/{keyId} — Reveal an API Key

> GET /api/v1/api-keys/{keyId} — retrieve the stored secret for an API key you own. Browser session required. Never log or publish this response.

This endpoint retrieves the raw secret for an API key associated with your account. It exists to let you recover a key you created through the dashboard in a context where you did not immediately copy it. Like all key-management operations, it requires an active browser session so that it cannot be accessed programmatically using another API key. Treat the response with the same care as a password — do not log it, do not include it in error reports, and do not expose it to client-side code.

## Endpoint

```
GET https://www.promptbank.club/api/v1/api-keys/{keyId}
```

**Authentication:** SessionAuth — browser session cookie (not an API key)

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="keyId" type="string (UUID)" required>
  The unique identifier of the API key you want to reveal. You can find this value in the `id` field returned by the [List Keys](/api-reference/api-keys/list) endpoint.
</ParamField>

## Response — 200 OK

<ResponseField name="data.key" type="string">
  The raw API key secret. This is the full value — including the `pb_live_` prefix — that you use in the `Authorization: Bearer` header when calling the Prompt Bank API.
</ResponseField>

## Example

**Request**

```bash theme={null}
curl https://www.promptbank.club/api/v1/api-keys/f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
```

**Response**

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "key": "pb_live_f47ac10b58cc4372a5670e02b2c3d479abcdef12"
  },
  "error": null
}
```

<Warning>
  **Treat this response as a credential.** Never log it, print it to a terminal that is screen-shared, or include it in error-tracking payloads. If you believe the key has been exposed, [revoke it](/api-reference/api-keys/revoke) immediately and issue a replacement.
</Warning>
