Unable to obtain API keys for new BT server install

I decided to setup my own BT server on my GoDaddy account - all went smoothly. I am now attempting to obtain my API keys and am not able to generate them following the instructions in the server zip file. I suspect this could be bad timing on my part after the upgrade to the main site. Any guidance here would be appreciated. Thanks - Warren

Hi guys, a) Timing is bad. But, we're working on the getting the 'generate api key' screen back up for existing users. b) Because you have been with this for awhile, this won't cost you the upgrade. We're doing what we can to figure out ways to accomodate all the different scenarios while this plays out. The generate new API key like you saw on the previous site will exist ONLY for folks that are not new to the site, like you. New users will need to go through the upgrade process to get API Keys. Hope this makes sense and thanks for the patience...look for the generate API key screen just past midnight PST?

David - I appreciate everything you and your team has done to get the new site up and going. No pressure from my end to get the API key piece fixed. I'll check back in later to see if it's working. I just figured it was time to go ahead and setup my own server. My one little app has generated multiple leads for new apps... not my original plan but I'm certainly appreciative. Thanks - Warren

OK guys. Have a look at your control panels and do this... a) Click Self Hosted Servers b) You should see the server we setup for you c) Click it's name to view it's details d) Update the details to match your self hosted install e) Be sure to reset the API Secret f) Visit your self hosted install's Admin > Settings page and udpate the values. Bye for now..

@rePlay: Plugin site? The list of available plugins is in your control panel. Download any / or all of them.

I was referring to the Mod site someone put up. It had a variety of plugins. It was up during the week. I'm not sure if they added their mods here.

I´ve set up my own BT-server on my account, and all has been quite good. My last thing to do is obtaining an API key, to connect my server to the buzz touch.com API. And here is my problem? I can´t find my API key. As fas as I understood it should be a free part of this program, as long as the register was before 03.09.2012. -Alf-

See the "upgrade account" screen, use the contact us screen if you registered before the cutoff. No worries.

Ah, I see you sent an email at 5:00 AM, got it. Look in your account screen under Self Hosted Servers. Adjust this key to match your server.
