1. Under the Options menu, click Account Management.
2. In the Account Management pop-up, select Account Settings.
3. Click on the Change API Key button.
4. In the pop-up, click Yes to generate a new API key and deactivate the old one.

You can make an API request right within your browser address bar, as long as you know your API key and the STAT subdomain that your account is on. (For example, “app2.getstat.com” or “public3.getstat.com.” You can see this in the address bar when you are logged into the app.)

These details are used to create an API request URL:

• XML request:
  {your_app_subdomain}.getstat.com/api/v2/{your_API_key}/{request_URL_string}
• JSON request:
  {your_app_subdomain}.getstat.com/api/v2/{your_API_key}/{request_URL_string}?format=json
• Typical example:
  app3.getstat.com/api/v2/478gh7612456jn098hgdn972647h762t56374hg67/projects/list/

To find the appropriate request URL string, see API requests and responses.

1. In the Site Tools, click Settings.
2. Choose which optional API service you would like to activate and select the format if appropriate.
3. Click Save.

1. In the main menu bar, select Options > Account Management.
2. In the pop-up, select Billing in the left menu to see your overall charges for optional services.
3. Select Optional Services in the left menu to see a detailed breakdown of charges by site.
