I have elastic cloud service version 6.8.10 and I currently have an api-key that I want to invalidate through dev tools, but when I made the call, it responsed as below snippet.

Request

```auto
DELETE /_security/api_key 
{
  "id" : "some-random-id"
}

```

Response

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "parse_exception",
        "reason": "request body is required"
      }
    ],
    "type": "parse_exception",
    "reason": "request body is required"
  },
  "status": 400
}

```

I followed the document describe here [invalidate api key](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/security-api-invalidate-api-key.html)

could you please help me.

I am not sure, but something could be up with your Cloud instance. I suggest reaching out for help via [https://cloud.elastic.co/help](https://cloud.elastic.co/help)
