WordPress API Key

  • Hi, I am new to wordpress, my directions were to get akismet , download it and get an API key. I set up an account but cannot locate the API Key. It tells me that it will be in my email but it isn’t. Also once I get it, how do I upload akismet to my blog. Please help, I don’t know what else to try. Thank you Naomi

    Yes you should be fine as long as you aren’t using them for commercial purposes.

    It seems strange that you would need a wordpress.com account to get an API key to use on a non-related, non-connected www.remarpro.com site.

    I am all set up and it’s working, but I was just curious, after reading this, why it’s set up that way. It seems rather arbitrary. Why doesn’t Akismet just have a generic API key for all plug-in users to use if it doesn’t really matter what account the API key comes from?

    Just wondering.

    I need some help, and I think it’s a little different from the other questions here.

    I have an account on wordpress.COM and I have an API key there. I have a self hosted blog, and Akismet IS working with that API key. Now I want to run WP-Stats. I have it installed and activated, but I am getting this error message:

    Error from last API Key attempt:

    The owner of that API Key is not on the access list for this blog (5837895). To be added to the access list, you must contact support.

    What do I need to do to resolve this?

    I have an API key somewhere. I know this because my askimet is working and I had to get one for that. I installed another plug in WordPress.com stats and when I activated it I got an error message “WordPress.com Stats needs attention: please enter an API key or disable the plugin.” When I go to my profile, it just not there where it should be, above “Personal Options”. Where else can I find it?

    Hi, I’ve found the API Key, but what about the API url?

    Hi!
    I have my API key and I have both a hosted and a wordpress.com blog- the wordpress.com blog seems to be tracked but not my hosted one?

    There are 0 stats and its been installed for a while, help!!!
