Is there a site to manage API keys?

Question

I remember there was a third party site that did all the sign up, quotas and key generation for API keys. I can not remember the name, so wondering if anyone knows about it?

Answer 1

I haven't used them and know very little about them but Mashery came across my radar the other day when I was looking at the Netflix API. They've got a pretty impressive list of customers.

Answer 2

WebServius ( http://www.webservius.com ) does just that (API key management and more).

Answer 3

You can do it easy with PHP :D

<?
$customer = '   ';
$customerid = '   ';
$key = md5('Some salt here'.$customer).md5($customerid);
// Then add something to add it to your database, like 
mysql_query("INSERT INTO APIKEYS Customer='".$customer."' ID='".$customerid.'" Key='".$key."'");
?>

Then when the API key is passed to your server, like a GET function perhaps

<?
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM APIKEYS WHERE Key='".$_GET['api']."'")) > '0') {
// Verified!
} else {
// Uh oh!
}
?>

Hope that helps ^^;
