What is an SK Key Validator?
An SK key validator is a developer utility that checks the status of Stripe secret keys. It determines whether a key is live (valid and usable), dead (invalid or revoked), or expired (past its validity period). This tool is helpful for developers managing payment integrations who need to verify API credentials without exposing sensitive data.
How This Tool Works
- Input: Paste your Stripe secret key(s) starting with
sk_live_
- Validation: Tool sends the key to Stripe's API to check its status
- Results: Keys are categorized as Live, Dead, or Unknown with detailed error messages
Common Use Cases
- API Key Management: Verify which Stripe keys are still usable in your codebase
- Security Auditing: Check for leaked or revoked keys in your repositories
- Migration Testing: Validate keys after switching between test and live modes
- Development: Ensure your integration uses the correct live credentials
