Hey all,
We have introduced a new feature in the MyAccount customer portal; API Key Management!
This feature enables you to generate an API key which will allow you to securely pull portal information (starting with usage history) into third party applications.
API Keys can be created and revoked an unlimited amount of times and will look like the following: B6E8F3AE8E00E4235A1E4CFAD0C8535E
In case you're wondering what this is all about.. well, it's a bit technical but it allows programmers to write software that can be useful to you. That software would ask you to generate a key from the MyAccount portal and enter it into that software.
This allows the software to communicate with our servers and send data from the portal, to the application.
When you generate that key and enter it, you are basically telling TekSavvy that it's ok for us to send your data to that software. This is why we tell you to use it at your own risk since we did not build those tools.
API is an acronym that mean's: Application Programming Interface
Encryption: all data is encrypted and is sent using the same encryption as the MyAccount portal.
PLEASE NOTE:
- If you generate a new key, you will need to re-enter it into your tools.
- TekSavvy is not responsible for the development or distribution of third party tools. As such, third party tools are used at your own risk.
- TekSavvy is not liable for any damages incurred by the use of third party applications.
