"API Key Temporarily Disabled"?

Posted under General

Can someone please explain to me what this means? Also, is this a bad thing to have? What can I do to get it enabled again? There's a few things I need my API key for such as smartphone apps for Danbooru and want to have it available when needed. Can anyone help me?

Edit: I forgot to put "Temporarily" in the title.

  • It's not something you did. The key was hidden from everyone's profile (although it still works if you know what it is) due to a security flaw. It will be added back once we're sure the flaw is fixed (it should be already).

  • It being displayed on the profile page is disabled for everyone because of a bug with security.
    You can still get your API key from your cookie (under "cookie_password_hash").

    Alternatively, the old login method (salted sha1 hash of your password) still works as well.

    Thank you so much for this. I can now use my apps again~! I just got Gold and then I saw my key was dead so I had a mini heartbreak. But thanks again!
