Update API Key Name

Resend now allows developers to rename existing API keys via the API. This update enables key identification changes without requiring the regeneration of the underlying token.

Verified State Diff

Comparison Mode:
- Previous State
API keys could not be renamed; changing a label required generating a new token and updating all dependent services.
+ Verified New State
API keys can be renamed via the API while maintaining the same token value, preserving existing integrations.

Impact & Verification Analysis

WHO IS AFFECTED

Developers and DevOps engineers managing Resend API keys programmatically.

WHY IT MATTERS

Reduces operational friction during key management and improves the ability to maintain clean, descriptive naming conventions for security credentials without triggering service downtime.

Full Fact Overview

Previously, API keys in Resend were immutable regarding their display names once created, or required a full rotation cycle to update metadata. By exposing an endpoint to modify the name attribute of an existing key, Resend improves lifecycle management for programmatic key handling. This allows developers to maintain consistent key rotation policies while keeping descriptive, environment-specific labels synchronized with their infrastructure-as-code or secret management systems.
