string

required

The API key for your account. You can find this in your account settings.

Requires an API key with the databases:credentials scope. Rotates either the access password or the TLS certificate of a database, without recreating it or changing its connection URL structure. Use this if a credential leaked or as part of a routine rotation policy. The database must be running to reset either credential. Resetting password returns the new password once in the response body, it is not shown again, so store it immediately. Resetting certificate returns a plain success, fetch the new certificate afterward via Get Certificate. After either reset, existing client connections using the old credential will need to reconnect. Rate limited to 1 reset every 3 seconds per user.

Parameters

string

required

The ID of the database.

string

required

The credential you want to reset, password or certificate.

object

The contents of the response.

Show Toggle object

string

The new generated password.

  "status":"success",
