@Vifula Hello and welcome to the community :partying_face:

Tyk uses hashing techniques to protect sensitive information like API keys. Hence the actual key ID cannot be retrieved because it is never stored

The options to get the Key ID or the actual value of the keys are:

  1. Retrieve the stored value of the generated or custom key from an external vault
  2. Disable key hashing on Tyk and retrieve the encoded or decoded value stored in clear text
