Hiya

Trying to hook into my HA server, but seem to be going in circles trying to generate an API key. I can see my existing one for Solcast, but I cannot create a new one.

I can create a new token but that's not what I need.

Is anyone else missing the option to create new keys?

Is this for a GivEnergy API or a new Solcast one?

"API Keys" is where Giv is calling OUT to Octopus or Solcast, where you have entered the 3rd party API keys into GE to make a connection.

Generate new token is what you need... the portal isn't user friendly in this respect. Make sure you copy your token after creation as you cannot access it afterwards.

I quote:

"API tokens allow third-party services to authenticate with our API on your behalf to do things like get your data or control your devices"
