The following video demonstrates how to generate both a Public API Key and Private API Key:

Please note that the Private API Key used to be referred to as a Service Account.

Follow these steps to generate access to the Private API:

1. Login to LeagueApps. Within the LeagueApps Admin Dashboard, go to the Top Menu > Connect > API Settings.

   

2. Enter a name for the API Key, then select "Generate Private API Key"

   

3. A pop-up will emerge. Select "Generate" and a a PKCS12 file with a filename of <client-id>.p12 will download to your computer. "X" out of the window to close it.

   

4. The Private API Key will be added to the table. The key is also known as the client ID

   

NOTE: This Private API Key can be used to access information across the site. However, if your organization has multiple sites, you will need to generate a new service account on each site.

TIP: If you'd also like to access Public API endpoints, you can use the key provided by that service account the Public API Key for the Public API.

Optional steps (to convert to PEM):

• The p12 file (also known as PKCS12) has a default password of notasecret
• Depending on your programming language, the p12 file may need to be converted to the PEM or other format. On MacOS or Linux, run the following from the command line within the folder that the p12 file is saved: openssl pkcs12 -nodes -legacy -in <client-id>.p12 -out <client-id>.pem
• Depending on security requirements, the PKCS12 default password should be changed using openssl or another tool that can modify PKCS12 files.
