A whole new page. There's nothing to diff it against, so here is what it says.
# Validate External Key
**POST** `/v1/organizations/external_keys/{external_key_id}/validate`
Validate an external key config against the customer's KMS.
Anthropic performs an encrypt/decrypt roundtrip against the configured
KMS key and waits up to 30 seconds for the result. The response status is
`success` if the roundtrip succeeded, or `failure` with an error
message if it failed or timed out.
## Path parameters
- `external_key_id: string`
ID of the External Key.
maxLength: 2048
## Returns
- `error: string or null`
Error message when status is `failure`. Null otherwise.
- `status: "failure" or "success"`
`success` — encrypt/decrypt roundtrip succeeded. `failure` — the roundtrip failed or timed out; see `error`.
- `"failure"`
- `"success"`
- `type: "external_key_validation"`
default: external_key_validation
## Example
```bash
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/organizations/external_keys/$EXTERNAL_KEY_ID/validate \
-X POST \
-H 'anthropic-version: 2023-06-01' \
-H "X-Api-Key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
```
