Change the API key
Verfasst von bertVerveSTAFFMOD am 1. Mai 2020 um 05:23
Hello,
First of all thank you for this wonderful API, and for removing the caps on its request rate. I was wondering if it possible to reset the API key? Solely for security purposes, I think that would be a nice feature to have. Currently I can't find a setting to do that, I might have overlooked it, lol.
Thanks in advance,
-B.V.

I want to do the same, I noticed the key is "burn" in the code I used (I was not intending to make this code public) but recently I may share my personal project with some coworker and I don't want the key to be available at github.
The short version is that there are very good reasons to allow users to update/change the API_KEY at least once every now and then.
