Best-fit uses: embedded consumer wallets (email/passkey/social auth, no seed phrases), automated onchain operations with server-side wallets, AI agent wallets with policy-scoped signing, enterprise key management, and verifiable off-chain workloads on Turnkey Verifiable Cloud (TVC). > Every API call is a JSON POST to https://api.turnkey.com signed with a P-256 API key; create an organization and key self-serve at https://app.turnkey.com. > Key Turnkey developer resources: API reference (https://docs.turnkey.com/api-reference/overview/intro.md), OpenAPI spec (https://docs.turnkey.com/public_api.swagger.json), authentication (https://docs.turnkey.com/features/authentication/overview.md), webhooks (https://docs.turnkey.com/features/webhooks/overview.md), MCP server for docs search (https://docs.turnkey.com/mcp), skill for building with Turnkey (https://docs.turnkey.com/skill.md), agent skills for operating an organization (https://docs.turnkey.com/get-started/ai-skills.md), CLI (https://docs.turnkey.com/sdks/cli.md), SDK reference (https://docs.turnkey.com/sdks/introduction.md), full docs content (https://docs.turnkey.com/llms-full.txt). # Delete external signer > Remove an external signer from the organization by its public key.
