Best way to create an API Key ? - El Forum - 04-08-2008 [eluser]Prasanna[/eluser] I am developing an API. I would like to know what is the best method to generate an API key ? OR what is the standard that has to be followed while generating the API key? Thanks in advance :-) Best way to create an API Key ? - El Forum - 04-11-2008 [eluser]Sean Murphy[/eluser] Unless I'm missing something, you just create a unique hash for each user. MD5, SHA1, CRC32, whatever. My one suggestion is that you make the hash shorter if possible. |
