Can I retrieve a lost API key?

💻 Environment/Context

  • API key
  • Profile settings
  • User
  • Lost key

 

In order for you to generate a new API key, the Settings > Can view page and Settings > Can view api key permission should be enabled on your account.

If you're unable to follow any of the steps below, kindly reach out to your admin or refer to the Account Type Permissions Overview article for more information.

 

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • I lost my API key, can ScorePlay send it to me again?
  • Can an API key be used to identify its owner?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • A lost API key can't be retrieved or resent, including by the ScorePlay support team

 

 

🥚 Cause

  • ScorePlay stores only a secure fingerprint (hash) of each API key and the key's last four characters, so the full key can't be recovered
