Multiple API keys?
Inlagt av St4rryN33dl3sSTAFFMOD den 1 november 2021 vid 10:16 AM
I have one API key, but I need a second one. Is this possible? Do I have to create another user account to do this?

No. Why do you think that you need a second one ?
Duplicate accounts are not allowed.

Hey @superboy97, unfortunately this is the only way we can issue a second API key so if there's a use case for someone to have a second key (say a second app) a second account is ok.

Can't we use the same API key for 2 applications ?

You can but you might not want to. If your first key or account gets compromised (or reported for some reason), it's reasonable to not want your second unrelated app be affected.

id like to have different keys for my personal tmdb that syncs with other apps , and im now looking for to create my own app which will redirect users to sync with tmdb , that would be logical to have two different keys , many services allow this , its not that out of this world
