You can create an API key on your Settings > Options tab.
To support API, Telligent Community Server allows you to create keys to authenticate users for web service calls without requiring you to provide your user name and password to authorized applications.
API keys are generated per user. So before you generate a API key, make sure that you are logged in as the user who will be using the key:
- If you are a registered user, you can go ahead and use the generation options on the tab.
- If you are an admin who needs to generate a key for a user, you can do so while impersonating him/her.
