Creating Admin API Authentication Credentials

[Walther]

In https://developers.whmcs.com/api/authentication I can read:
 

Quote

API requests will be authenticated based on the request parameters identifier and secret as provisioned when Creating Admin API Authentication Credentials within the WHMCS Admin Area.

That "Creating Admin API Authentication Credentials" links to http://docs.whmcs.com/API_Authentication_Credentials#Creating_Admin_API_Authentication_Credentials , which does not exists and brings you to https://developers.whmcs.com/api ... so you enter in a loop.

for API calls you need $api_identifier and  $api_secret ...
In WHMCS in admin/configapicredentials.php you can generate new API credentials, you can get only the identifier... but the api secret? How can I get it?!?!?!

• The identifier and secret being separate can definitely be confusing when the documentation sends you back to the main API page. I’d check the current API authentication and credential setup docs first, since the older documentation link seems to be the main source of confusion here.

After creating the API credentials, you’ll see a screen like this. The popup will show the Identifier and Secret.

Make sure to copy the Secret at this point, as it cannot be retrieved later.

Generate New API Credential gives you identifier and secret. You can't missed it.
