<titleabbrev>Update connector API key id</titleabbrev>
++++

beta::[]

Updates the `api_key_id` and/or `api_key_secret_id` field(s) of a connector, specifying:

. The ID of the API key used for authorization
. The ID of the Connector Secret where the API key is stored

The Connector Secret ID is only required for Elastic managed connectors.
Self-managed connectors do not use this field.
See the documentation for <<es-native-connectors-manage-API-keys-programmatically,programmatically managed connector API keys>> for more details.

To get started with Connector APIs, check out <<es-connectors-tutorial-api, our tutorial>>.

==== {api-request-title}

`PUT _connector/<connector_id>/_api_key_id`

==== {api-prereq-title}

* To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the <<es-connectors-deploy-connector-service,Elastic connector service>>. on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for Elastic managed connectors.
* The `connector_id` parameter should reference an existing connector.
* The `api_key_id` parameter should reference an existing API key.
* The `api_key_secret_id` parameter should reference an existing Connector Secret containing an encoded API key value.
