Accidentally exposed API Bearer token
posted by SaranyaSKSTAFFMOD on July 10, 2025 at 5:56 AM
Hello, I accidentally exposed my TMDB v4 API Bearer token in a public GitHub repo. There is no option to revoke or regenerate the token. Could you please help me revoke the current token and issue a new one for security?

Hi @SaranyaSK,
If you re-generate your API key, it will generate a new bearer token and invalidate your previous one.

I'm not very sure but I believe that if you request the regeneration of your API Key, your new Bearer Token will automatically be generated.
