Update API key via API

[Sondre Moseid]

Hi,

is there a way to update the API key needed to get sensor data?

I got a thingy91 that I can get data from via Rest API. Only thing is that I need to login to my profile and get the new API key. Is there a link where I can do a GET request to update it in my Node-RED project?

best regards,

Sondre

Hi Sondre,

I am not sure if I understand your meaning.

is there a way to update the API key needed to get sensor data?

Only thing is that I need to login to my profile and get the new API key.

Why do you need a new API key? When you generate one API key, you can use it for all your third-party platforms to access nrfcloud through REST API. In which condition, do you need to generate a new one?

Is there a link where I can do a GET request to update it in my Node-RED project?

No, a new API key shouldn't be requested through REST API itself. It is a high risk any people using this API can request a new key and block your access.

The thing is that the API key is only available for 1 hour, correct? So I would need to manually login and update the API key, then copy it into my project..?

Hi Sondre,

NO.

warning Note that previously issued API keys remain valid for up to 60 minutes. means:

After generating a new key, your old key may still be valid for 1 hour. You can simply keep monitoring your API key for more than one hour to see if it changes.

Best regards,
