# Restore entity record
> This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.
Brings one deleted record back from the entity's trash and returns it.
The record keeps its ID and fields, and appears again in [List entity records](/api-reference/list-entity-records). Find the IDs of deleted records with [List deleted entity records](/api-reference/list-deleted-entity-records).
Restoring a record triggers the app's webhooks for this entity, but not the automations or workflows that listen for new or updated records.
This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted.
