# Update the connector API key ID

Availability: Beta

## Paths

- `PUT` `/_connector/{connector_id}/_api_key_id`

#### Path parameters

- `connector_id` (string) — required
  The unique identifier of the connector to be updated

## Description

Update the `api_key_id` and `api_key_secret_id` fields of a connector.
You can specify the ID of the API key used for authorization and the ID of the connector secret where the API key is stored.
The connector secret ID is required only for Elastic managed (native) connectors.
Self-managed connectors (connector clients) do not use this field.

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  Elasticsearch APIs use key-based authentication.
  You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header.
  For example:
  
  
  ```
  curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
    -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"
  ```
  
  For more information about where to find API keys for the Elasticsearch endpoint (${ES_URL}) for a project, go to [Get started with Elasticsearch Serverless](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/search/serverless-elasticsearch-get-started).

## Request body

`application/json`

- `api_key_id` (string) — optional
- `api_key_secret_id` (string) — optional

## Response

`application/json`

- `result` (enum)
  Values: `created`, `updated`, `deleted`, `not_found`, `noop`
