Cannot use API_key after generating

[nikita_97_10]

I have the same problem as it was described here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=330
But I still don`t understand how to solve it. I just registered and generated a key, but I`m getting this problem: "API key is invalid or disabled"
URL:
http://webservice.fanart.tv/v3/music/16 ... <generated api_key here>
Maybe client_key is requred to use API? If so, where can I find it?

Edit: May be I should use generated API key as client_key and as api_key I should use key shown in API documentation? It works, but I`m not sure it`s correct

Did you generate a personal key or a project api key here: https://fanart.tv/get-an-api-key/ ?

A project key is used where it asks for api_key and personal key is used where it asks for client_key

Hope that helps

Hi,

I have the same issue, just created an api key on the url you mentioned and when I try to execute a Get I have the following response:

http://webservice.fanart.tv/v3/tv/75682?api_key=<KEY>

{
"status": "error",
"error message": "API key is invalid or disabled"
}

Would you know what is going on?
thanks

Hi Kode, I generated a project key. I tried to use it as api_key, but I got a error. I hadn`t tried to use a personal key as a client_key at the same time because I thought client_key is optional. I`ll check it

Wow, forget everything, my API_key now works, maybe it just wasn`t activated. Works so: http://webservice.fanart.tv/v3/music/16 ... 6?api_key= <generated api_key here>

Hi nikita_97_10,

Did you activate it or it was activated automatically? Do you know how long it take?

Thanks,

[nikita_97_10]

Two days ago it wasn`t working, yesterday it was, I`m not sure when it was activated

Have ypu denerated a project or personal key?

Hi all, we had an issue with the API database being out of sync with the live database, this is why recently generated keys were not working, they should be back in alignment soon, if not already.

client/personal key IS optional.
