# Rotate Hook Key

> Rotate the hook key for a webhook.

Generates a new hook key and immediately invalidates the old one. Only the hook's original author can call this endpoint.

<Warning>
  The old key stops working as soon as rotation completes. Update the `CRUSTOCEAN_HOOK_KEY` environment variable in your backend immediately after rotating.
</Warning>
