Hi all, I am new to these forums. Can't believe I have just discovered these GREAT SEO tools. Amazing. I especially like the Comparision tool btw WordTracker and Overture. However, when I tried to signup for the Keyword Tracker Tool, it asked for a api key. So I followed the link, created an account, verified it. However, no key was created. Instead I got an error page from google instead. Is the key creation down or something? Or did I do something wrong? TIA for the help PS: DigitalPoint, I really LOVE ur tools.
What does the error message at Google say exactly? I haven't heard of any problems getting keys so far... - Shawn
the Google API is obtained form Google http://www.google.com/apis/api_faq.html on the left of that a.m. Google API-FAQ page you find the link to create account ( @ google ) .. then you get your google API and use it for the digitalpoint.com account .. goog luck
Hi Hans, thats exactly what I did. digitalpoint, here is the message i get on the page after i create an account or try to login [size=-1] Been like this for 2 days. Wondering if anyone has the problem [/size]
Hmmmm... I suspect it might be for everyone now that I know about it... I noticed about 1/3 of the people signed up for the keyword tracker than normally do in the last 2 days... - Shawn
I just tried to get a copy of my existing API and I get the same thing as well... I put in an email to the Google API department to see what's up... - Shawn
Okay, looks like Google's servers are working again for issuing keys... just as a FYI. So you should be able to get your API key now. - Shawn
got saw your reply weird i turned on email subscriptions yet i was not notified of new replies going to get that API key now thx shawn. (can i call u that?)
ive been having issues finding the API key can anyone give me a step by step in getting it i also get this message , does it have to do with what were suppose to use As of December 5, 2006, we are no longer actively supporting the SOAP Search API. We encourage you to use the AJAX Search API instead.
Yes, that's right, Google are no longer handing out SOAP API keys. I'm not sure where that leaves this tool as regards new users.
I tried to sign up as a user, but had to use the AJAX key google gave me. It said: The request returned the following error: Exception from service object: Invalid authorization key: I am kinda bummed. This looked like a really nice tool to use. *(edit) I take this back, they gave me a SOAP API tool, it appeared in my email, and I didn't see it, thinking it would appear on the website itself... I guess I have both now)
As they said they stop offering the old kind of APIs, I don t know why and how to develop scripts with AJAX one
This seems so simple, but after browsing around google webmaster tools, I can't seem to find my key I created before they shut it down. I created one a year ago and now I can't seem to log in to find where it might be located. any help?
As of the 5th of December 2006, Google stopped issuing new SOAP API Keys. I don't think it is possible to have Google resend the key.
even im tryig to getta API key but still couldn't and when i tried to sign up for a new a/c it says im already signed in lolz coz i was using my gmail ID hmmm im really confused
