See this thread and advice from Companies House - I think still current.

How to regenerate an API Key

You do not need to delete an application to create a new API key. Simply login and go to ‘Your Applications’ (https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/developer/applications) It will list you current API key(s), click ‘Register an application’ and name it, Start using this new API key and stop using the old key. When you are sure you are not using the old API key, select the old key in ‘Your Applications’ and click ‘Remove Application’. Hope this helps answer your question.

Hello, what does this article mean, please? Do you mean that the ‘Update API key’ button does not work and when clicked it deletes all of the applications and then one cannot create a new application?

Why have you written the question and why have you written an answer in such way? If there is a major issue like this, then where is information about it, including in at least the answer here?!

So, the API key cannot be regenerated with an ‘Update API key’ button in the account - is that right?!

What to do now, after one had clicked on this wretched button and the applications aren’t created anymore?!
