API KEY & ADDONS
posted by Jankie50STAFFMOD on June 18, 2018 at 7:30 PM
Hi, I am JANKIE50. I am new at using API KEY, didn't even know that one existed until today! Since I don't know anything about it; can someone tell me for how long can I use the current key? Also, do I have to install the key on each addon individually if I am using a kodi build or if I have a couple of addons installed? Any and all responses will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

I think you're best of asking over at KODI. Unless there's a KODI user here who can help.

Thanks, I will do so. But, could you or anyone tell me for how long can I use my current API Key?

Hi @Jankie50, API keys do not expire. So technically, forever.

Hi and if I use the images of the actors and movie posters for a game and use your commercial API Key, I do not have any legal problems right?

U can add the API key in the urlresolver or universal scraper in the settings/system/add-ons/dependencies section in kodi. I forget if it's the resolver or scraper but after it's entered, most add-ons have a toggle butt that let's use ur own API keys or the keys the dev used.. it's always best to use ur own.. hope this helps..
