Hi, anyone know how to create a key with custom username using Advanced Management API? The API auto-generate the username as part of the key_id, but i want set my custom username.
Any suggestions?

Hi Danielle,

Yep - there’s an undocumented endpoint for that:

POST /api/apis/keys/basic/test_username HTTP/1.1
Host: domain.com:PORT
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 416
authorization: e94d9792-f5c5-4e9a-5eae-df12255e739b

{
“last_check”: 0,
“allowance”: 1000,
“rate”: 1000,
“per”: 1,
“expires”: 1452177621,

“quota_remaining”: 0,
“quota_renewal_rate”: 60,

“api_id”: “16daffbca6f3442e67b456dc452f9313”,
“api_name”: “Test API”,

}
},
“apply_policy_id”: “”,
“tags”: [],
“jwt_data”: {

}
}

Cheers,
