Apache Answer API key

Apache Answer doesn't yet support standalone API Keys. It does support access tokens, which can be used in the Swagger UI to call an API endpoint that requires authentication.

The steps are:

• Call the /answer/api/v1/user/login/email endpoint with your user email and password. Leave captcha_code and captcha_id as empty strings unless you've enabled the Captcha plugin
• In the response, get your access_token
• At the top of the Swagger UI, click Authorize and paste in your access_token where it asks for your API Key

Now, if you call an endpoint that requires authorization, like /answer/api/v1/question, it should return a 200 response.

To get your API key for an Apache Answer (answer.apache.org) site, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Apache Answer instance: Open a web browser and go to the URL where your Apache Answer site is hosted. Log in with your administrator credentials.

2. Access your profile: Once logged in, click on your username or profile icon in the top-right corner of the page to access your profile.

3. Navigate to API settings: In your profile, look for a section labeled "API" or "API keys." This is where you can manage your API keys.

4. Generate a new API key: If you don't already have an API key, there should be an option to generate a new one. Click on this option, and the system will create a new API key for you.

5. Copy your API key: Once the API key is generated, copy it and store it securely. You will need this key to authenticate your API requests.

6. Use the API key: You can now use this API key to authenticate requests to your Apache Answer site.

If these steps do not match the interface of your Apache Answer instance, please refer to the specific documentation provided for your version or configuration of Apache Answer, as the process might vary slightly.
