Change to Cloudant API: generate_api_key endpoint

If you regularly generate API keys for Cloudant, please take note of this upcoming change.

We are deprecating our old API key generation endpoint POST /api/generate_api_key between 12:00 and 17:00 UTC on November 24, 2014.

All of your existing API keys still work; the only thing that’s changing is how they are generated programmatically. API key generation through the Cloudant dashboard remains unchanged.

Please update your code to use our new API key generation endpoint — POST /_api/v2/api_keys — which is documented here: docs.cloudant.com/api/authz.html#generating-an-api-key

Let us know if you have any questions by sending them to Cloudant Support (support@cloudant.com) to ensure the fastest response.

Many thanks,

--Kevin Wolf, Director of Service Delivery, IBM Cloudant
