Hi Neil,

You'll want to look at the users API controller, specifically the api_key method. Your downstream tool could, upon receiving an empty API key from the wrapper, generate a new key and use it (after which it'd also be available to the user).

Hi, I know that if I put :

${ __app__.model.User.get( $__user_id__ ).api_keys[0].key }

in my tools xml file I am able to get the current api key.

The xml calls my python script with this value, which i then use to execute workflows via the API.

However, if this is value empty/blank is there a way I can generate an api key it from within my python script. i.e. is there a method I can call which would generate this for me?

Thanks Neil
