Hi there,

I had just accidentally pushed my API Key to my repo and want to immediately disable it since it has now been exposed to the public. How would I go about doing that?

Hello Kevin,

I couldn't find any API key owned by the email address you are using. Could you please email us from the same address linked to your API key so we could disable your key for you?

Thanks,

Rowanne
