Is there a way to generate a API subscription key for a single use? The intention is that once used the subscription key will be unused and cant be reused. So every time an application tries to access an API a fresh and new subscription key will be created.
I checked the MS documentation and cant find if there is an option to configure/set up a subscription key.
The requirement here is to get more restricted access and to use a more secured subscription key.
Please suggest.

Hi,
There is no such facility from us to generate the subscription key every time.
you can call the below API to regenerate the subscription keys by using the below Management API.

@Sujithreddy Komma Thank you for your answer.
@Raja Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. We don't have a way to generate a subscription key for a single use. Please share feedback with our product team via aka.ms/apimwish so that other users who are in need to similar feature can upvote it.
Our general recommendation is to rotate subscription keys periodically and we talked about few options in other thread https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/963672/how-to-auto-rotate-an-api-subscription-key-in-azur.html. For your scenario, you can regenerate subscription key from the application each time (before or after accessing API) with REST API as already mentioned.
If you have any questions, feel free to let us know :)
