I’ve sent two emails to [support@weatherflow.com](mailto:support@weatherflow.com) requesting an API key in the past couple weeks. I’ve heard absolutely nothing back regarding my requests. How long do such requests typically take? ---

Hell Bruce At present time there are no ‘private’ api keys to my knowledge just use the one on [this page](https://weatherflow.github.io/SmartWeather/api/) ---

That page clearly states: > When ready to deploy an applications/integration intended for use by others (more than one user, not yourself): > > - Please [contact us](mailto:support@weatherflow.com?subject=Smart%20Weather%20API%20Key%20Request) to obtain your own API key. > - Please include a description of the app or integration you’re working on, and any other helpful information. Is that not actually the case? ---

Hi Bruce, we have a total of 0 tickets from this email address, sorry. Here’s our initial messaging for an API key request… You can use the developer key found in the link below for testing and development. [https://weatherflow.github.io/SmartWeather/api/](https://weatherflow.github.io/SmartWeather/api/) Please continue using the developer’s API key for now. It doesn’t have any restrictions on it, yet. We’ll be rolling out new developer tools soon, including a self-serve API generator. And we won’t apply any restrictions to the dev key until after giving developers plenty of time to create their own. We’ll use [https://community.tempest.earth/c/developers](https://community.tempest.earth/c/developers) for any announcements. Do you need your own API key now? We can ask IT if so. ---

Thanks, I guess I’ll just keep using that developer key for the time being then. > Hi Bruce, we have a total of 0 tickets from this email address, sorry. Could you please check your spam filters?

A personal API can be created via the settings of the webpage and then down the page you have data autorisation, push the create token and you have it.
