===== Example: API Token Rotation (Python) =====

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">import requests

=== Step 2a: Rotate API token (real-world) ===
api_url = "https://api.example.com/tokens/{token_id}"
auth_headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"}  # confirmed user

=== Revoke old token ===
revoke_response = requests.delete(api_url, headers=auth_headers)
if revoke_response.status_code == 204:
    print("Old token revoked successfully.")

=== Generate a new token (via service API or OAuth flow) ===
=== This is usually done via platform-specific secure endpoint ===
new_token_data = requests.post("https://api.example.com/tokens", headers=auth_headers)
if new_token_data.status_code == 201:
    new_token = new_token_data.json()['token']
    print(f"New token generated: {new_token}")
else:
    print("Failed to generate new token. Check permissions.")

</syntaxhighlight>

Example: Session Token Regeneration (Python, Flask)

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">from flask import session
import secrets

=== Regenerate a session ID securely ===
old_session = session.get('session_id')
session['session_id'] = secrets.token_hex(32)
print(f"Session ID rotated. Old: {old_session}, New: {session['session_id']}")

</syntaxhighlight>

Key Points (Real-World):
* Token modifications are auditable
* User permissions are enforced by the service/system
* No bypass of security or privileges
* All token changes should update logs and notify user if applicable

✅ Step 2 complete:
* Token modification applied (rotation, regeneration, or update)
* User ownership verified
* Auditable and secure

Next: Step 3 — Confirm changes and propagate effect.
