Change API Key Type?
posted by DaffsterSTAFFMOD on June 15, 2016 at 5:38 PM
Hallo,
I'm currently using a 'non-commercial' API key. Unfortunately a key data provider I rely on is about to start charging for access. As a result, I will need to start displaying ads on my site. The revenue won't cover the new costs by all estimates, but nontheless by displaying ads I presume I need to change to a 'commercial' API key? What would be the best / proper way to go about that please? I can't see any obvious way of altering the type of key from my account options.
Many thanks for any advice :)

Hi Daffster,
No, this wouldn't be considered commercial use here. You're fine to keep using your developer key. As always, just make sure you're attributing TMDb as the source of the data and/or images you use.
Cheers.
