HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

    "type": "not_found_error",

What it means

The resource you addressed (by id, in a path or filter) does not exist, or does exist but isn’t owned by the authenticated user.

Why both cases return 404

By design. If the response distinguished “this id doesn’t exist” from “this id exists but isn’t yours”, an attacker could enumerate ids on other users’ accounts. A uniform 404 prevents that.

How to fix

Check the id. Patomic ids have predictable prefixes — apk_ for keys, usr_ for users, aud_ for audit entries. A typo will return 404.
Check ownership. Use GET /v1/keys with your authenticated key to list everything you own.
Check that you haven’t already revoked the resource. A revoked key still appears in GET /v1/keys with revoked_at non-null.
