Activate API Key

Reactivate a previously revoked API key.

Endpoint

POST /api/v1/keys/{id}/activate
Host: api.driftguard.dev

Activating a key sets is_active back to true. Requests made with the key will be accepted again immediately. Only keys that have been revoked can be activated — keys that have been hard deleted cannot be recovered.
