Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Setup better auth with prisma and the apiKey plugin
  2. Call the API key update endpoint with keyId.
  3. Observe the Prisma error about needing a unique identifier.

Current vs. Expected behavior

When calling db[model].update() in the Prisma adapter, the where clause is constructed with an AND array containing both id and userId. Prisma's update method requires a unique identifier (such as just id), and using an AND clause results in the following error:

Invalid `db[model].update()` invocation...
Argument `where` of type ApikeyWhereUniqueInput needs at least one of `id` arguments.

This prevents updating API keys by keyId.

The update should succeed when passing a keyId.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.10

Provide environment information

- OS: Windows 11
- Browser: Chrome
- Runtime: node 22.13.0, bun 1.2.17

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Client, Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: "postgresql",
  }),
  plugins: [
    apiKey({
      apiKeyHeaders: ["x-api-key"],
    }),
  ],
});

Additional context

Using better-auth with Prisma adapter (PSQL) in a Next.js project.

Looks like a few other plugins have the same issue with the AND clause causing Prisma to believe that it is not a unique where input.

Hi @johanwilson! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The error happens because the Prisma adapter in better-auth constructs the where clause for updates using an AND array (e.g., both id and userId), but Prisma requires a unique identifier (like just id) for update operations. When the where clause isn't uniquely identifying, Prisma throws the error you saw. This pattern can affect other plugins too, not just the API key plugin.

The fix should be in the Prisma adapter: for update operations, the where clause should only use the unique identifier field (usually id) instead of an AND array. The adapter currently generalizes for multiple backends, but Prisma's update method is stricter and needs a unique key in the where clause. No recent pull requests directly address this for updates—most focus on other clause handling or unrelated improvements (source).

Workaround:
If you need an immediate fix, you can patch your local Prisma adapter to ensure that, for updates, the where clause only includes the unique identifier. Look for the update logic in your adapter and adjust it to use { id: keyId } for API key updates.

This is a targeted change and should resolve the error for API key updates and any other plugin/model with a similar pattern.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

the thing the update prisma api is receiving a compound where clauses. we either should do updateMany or remove userId field since api key is retrieved userId for future we make sure the update api receives a unique id field with the where clause.
