Hi Guys, I am upgrading to self hosted v2.1.8. Yeah! I got through the whole process, I am now updating my config.php file with the Buzztouch info. I can see my API key in my account but where can I find my "BUZZTOUCH_API_SECRET"? Thanks! Farcat Title Comments Hi Guys, I am upgrading to self hosted v2.1.8. Yeah!

You created it in your 'BT' control panel, not your self hosted control panel. Look under 'self hosted' in your BT control panel... Shhhhhh!

I must be missing something obvious here, probably the effect of all this adrenaline pumping in my blood after doing the upgrade... I am looking at my BT control panel, I go to "Self Hosted Servers", click my server name which opens my Self Hosted Server Details. Looking down I see the API key but no API Secret. What is it? Is time for me to retire? Do I need more coffee? Cheers, Farcat Comments Hey SmugWimp, Thanks for the quick reply!

Caught me out as well. Comments Click on 'Modify' and you will see the API Secret box, you can type any password save and then use that new secret password for your self hosting.

Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	02/24/13 02:46 PM (12 years ago) The 'secret' is a secret password you created and submitted to Buzztouch when you created your initial API key for self hosted... If you don't remember it, you may have to recreate your self hosted API, but I'm not sure about all that....
