Question

Can API keys be generated programmatically in PTV Developer?

Answer

Currently, API keys must be created manually via the PTV Developer Portal.

There is no public API available at this time that would allow programmatic generation or management of API keys on behalf of other users or organizations.

To generate an API key:

1. Go to https://developer.myptv.com

2. Log in to your account.

3. From the dashboard, navigate to the "API Keys" section.

4. Click "Create API Key", enter a name, and define its usage rights.

5. Save the key – it will now appear in your list of active keys.

   Note: Each API key is tied to your user account. If multiple users or systems need access, you must generate separate keys or share one manually (if permitted under your organization policy).

Additional hints

Be sure to secure your API keys, as they can incur usage costs.

For automation needs (e.g. CI/CD), consider securely storing the key in environment variables or secret managers.
