How Is Api Key Generated
The sub-string 'ngeVfQFYQlKU0ufo8x5d1A' is the API Key. The sub-string you're referring to is not the API key, it is the API key ID. What is the rest of this stuff and how did they generate this entire/full string? The full string is the whole API key, it is divided into 3 sections and separated by dots. So API KEY = SG.ID.VALUE. Mar 03, 2020 Creating an API key. To create an API key, your account must be granted the primitive Editor role (roles/editor) on the current project. For more information, see primitive roles. To create an API key: Navigate to the APIs & Services→Credentials panel in Cloud Console. Select Create credentials, then select API key from the dropdown menu. Jul 23, 2018 Select the API Keys tab. Optional: Type a label for the API key in the Label field. Optional: Set an expiration time using the Expires dropdown menu. By default, the key will never expire. Click the Create API Key button. You will see a message appear at the top of the page, displaying your new API key. Copy this key and save it in a secure.

Create API keys used to sign JWTs and authorize API requests.
An API key should be generated in Desktop Central and updated in ServiceDesk Plus. This will authenticate any communication from Desktop Central server to ServiceDesk Plus server. Authentication key can be created only for the logged on user and this user should have administrative privileges.
Overview
The App Store Connect API requires a JSON Web Token (JWT) to authorize each request you make to the API. You generate JWTs using an API key downloaded from App Store Connect.
An API key has two parts: a public portion that Apple keeps, and a private key that you download. The private key enables you to sign tokens that authorize access to your data in App Store Connect and the Apple Developer website.
Important
Secure your private keys as you would other credentials, such as usernames and passwords. If you suspect a private key is compromised, immediately revoke the key in App Store Connect. See Revoking API Keys for details.
App Store Connect API keys are unique to the App Store Connect API and cannot be used for other Apple services.
Generate a Private Key and Assign It a Role
When you create an API key, assign it a role that determines the key's access to areas of the App Store Connect API and permissions for performing tasks. For example, keys with the Admin role have broad permissions and can do things like create new users and delete users. The roles that apply to keys are the same roles that apply to users on your team; for more information, see role permissions in App Store Connect Help. API keys can access all apps, regardless of their role.
Note
An API key's access cannot be limited to specific apps.
To generate keys, you must have an Admin account in App Store Connect. You may generate multiple API keys with any roles you choose.
To generate an API key to use with the App Store Connect API, log in to App Store Connect.
Select Users and Access, and then select the API Keys tab.
Click Generate API Key or the Add (+) button.
Enter a name for the key. The name is for your reference only and is not part of the key itself.
Under Access, select the role for the key.
Click Generate.
The new key's name, key ID, a download link, and other information appears on the page.
Download and Store the Private Key
Once you've generated your API key, you are given the opportunity to download the private half of the key. The private key is available for download a single time.
Log in to App Store Connect.
Select Users and Access, and then select the API Keys tab.
Click 'Download API Key' link next to the new API key.
The download link appears only if the private key has not yet been downloaded. Apple does not keep a copy of the private key.
Store your private key in a safe place.
Important
Pick an ore block in JEI and press (R)ecipe on it and cycle through until you have the charts. I don't know if Infinity has the new JER or if they ran the mod ores through it so try on a vanilla ore first to see. Edit - It would appear to be broken atm.
Keep your API keys secure and private. You should never share your keys, store keys in a code repository, or include keys in client-side code.
If the key becomes lost or compromised, remember to revoke it immediately. See Revoking API Keys for more information.

All requests to a search service need a read-only api-key that was generated specifically for your service. The api-key is the sole mechanism for authenticating access to your search service endpoint and must be included on every request. In REST solutions, the api-key is typically specified in a request header. In .NET solutions, a key is often specified as a configuration setting and then passed as Credentials (admin key) or SearchCredentials (query key) on SearchServiceClient.
Keys are created with your search service during service provisioning. You can view and obtain key values in the Azure portal.
What is an api-key
An api-key is a string composed of randomly generated numbers and letters. Through role-based permissions, you can delete or read the keys, but you can't replace a key with a user-defined password or use Active Directory as the primary authentication methodology for accessing search operations.
Two types of keys are used to access your search service: admin (read-write) and query (read-only).
Key | Description | Limits |
---|---|---|
Admin | Grants full rights to all operations, including the ability to manage the service, create and delete indexes, indexers, and data sources. Two admin keys, referred to as primary and secondary keys in the portal, are generated when the service is created and can be individually regenerated on demand. Having two keys allows you to roll over one key while using the second key for continued access to the service. Admin keys are only specified in HTTP request headers. You cannot place an admin api-key in a URL. | Maximum of 2 per service |
Query | Grants read-only access to indexes and documents, and are typically distributed to client applications that issue search requests. Query keys are created on demand. You can create them manually in the portal or programmatically via the Management REST API. Query keys can be specified in an HTTP request header for search, suggestion, or lookup operation. Alternatively, you can pass a query key as a parameter on a URL. Depending on how your client application formulates the request, it might be easier to pass the key as a query parameter: GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$orderby=lastRenovationDate desc&api-version=2019-05-06&api-key=[query key] | 50 per service |
Visually, there is no distinction between an admin key or query key. Both keys are strings composed of 32 randomly generated alpha-numeric characters. If you lose track of what type of key is specified in your application, you can check the key values in the portal or use the REST API to return the value and key type.
Note
It is considered a poor security practice to pass sensitive data such as an api-key
in the request URI. For this reason, Azure Cognitive Search only accepts a query key as an api-key
in the query string, and you should avoid doing so unless the contents of your index should be publicly available. As a general rule, we recommend passing your api-key
as a request header.
Find existing keys
You can obtain access keys in the portal or through the Management REST API. For more information, see Manage admin and query api-keys.
Sign in to the Azure portal.
List the search services for your subscription.
Select the service and on the Overview page, click Settings >Keys to view admin and query keys.
Create query keys
Query keys are used for read-only access to documents within an index for operations targeting a documents collection. Search, filter, and suggestion queries are all operations that take a query key. Any read-only operation that returns system data or object definitions, such as an index definition or indexer status, requires an admin key.
Restricting access and operations in client apps is essential to safeguarding the search assets on your service. Always use a query key rather than an admin key for any query originating from a client app.
Sign in to the Azure portal.
List the search services for your subscription.
Select the service and on the Overview page, click Settings >Keys.
Click Manage query keys.
Use the query key already generated for your service, or create up to 50 new query keys. The default query key is not named, but additional query keys can be named for manageability.

A code example showing query key usage can be found in Query an Azure Cognitive Search index in C#.
Regenerate admin keys
Two admin keys are created for each service so that you can rotate a primary key, using the secondary key for business continuity.
- In the Settings >Keys page, copy the secondary key.
- For all applications, update the api-key settings to use the secondary key.
- Regenerate the primary key.
- Update all applications to use the new primary key.
Api Key Generation
If you inadvertently regenerate both keys at the same time, all client requests using those keys will fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden. However, content is not deleted and you are not locked out permanently.
You can still access the service through the portal or the management layer (REST API, PowerShell, or Azure Resource Manager). Management functions are operative through a subscription ID not a service api-key, and thus still available even if your api-keys are not.
After you create new keys via portal or management layer, access is restored to your content (indexes, indexers, data sources, synonym maps) once you have the new keys and provide those keys on requests.
Secure api-keys
Key security is ensured by restricting access via the portal or Resource Manager interfaces (PowerShell or command-line interface). As noted, subscription administrators can view and regenerate all api-keys. As a precaution, review role assignments to understand who has access to the admin keys.
- In the service dashboard, click Access control (IAM) and then the Role assignments tab to view role assignments for your service.
Members of the following roles can view and regenerate keys: Owner, Contributor, Search Service Contributors

For identity-based access over search results, you can create security filters to trim results by identity, removing documents for which the requestor should not have access. For more information, see Security filters and Secure with Active Directory.
