First Login using REST
February 01, 2011, 02:52:43 am
Hi Guys,

While reading http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/DevelopAPI and working on CiviSync we came across

Quote
Note: On the first call, you might get an error message like "This user does not have a valid API key in the database, and therefore cannot authenticate through this interface". This means that you need to generate a key for the user, and add it to the api_key field in the civicrm_contact table in the database.


Can someone please explain how this key can be generated for the user?


Thanks!!

The api key has to be set in the MySQL database (field api_key in table civicrm_contact) for the contacts you allow to access CiviCRM with REST.
