The Portcast platform is composed by two interconnected access and upload methods: the Web Application, and our easy-to-use API suite.
In order to start using the API to access or upload containers, you will need the API key, as described in the Portcast API documentation. In order to find the API key, you can simply connect to the Web Application and retrieve it.
Before you fetch your API key, bear in mind that each Org or sub-Org in the Portcast Web Application has a different API key. This means that, depending on which Org you want to upload to, you should access the API using its associated API key. Therefore, make sure to choose the right Org associated to your account - you can select the active Org by using the Org selector on the top right of the Portcast Web Application (the selector won’t be visible if your account is associated with a single Org or Sub-Org).
Once you are sure about which Org you are currently under, head to your first name in the left sidebar, click on it, then “Org Settings”. A screen similar to this should be displayed:
Your API key is displayed under the Organisation table, “API Key” (signaled as AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) ****in the screenshot above. Move your mouse over it, and you should see a ‘copy’ icon; click on it, then paste it onto your code, Postman, or any other API consuming platforms you intend to use.
