New API Key versus LoginKey for API V1.x

Question

In Rally's documentation for the new API Keys (https://help.rallydev.com/rally-application-manager) it says that while previously you needed to use a LoginKey for displaying information in external systems (such a sConfluence) that now you can generate an API key for each application. - However it does not indicate how you should replace the LoginKey for applications with a new API Key.

For external API V1 aps using the loginkey, do you just change out the LoginKey token in the query string (loginkey =) with the new API Key, or is there some other process for using the API Key (such as a different query string parameter)?

Answer 1

You do not have to replace LoginKey with API Key for API 1.x. The legacy apps written with AppSDK1 are expected to continue working with LoginKey for now.

API Key will be used to run new apps based on AppSDK2 externally, without users being prompted to login, and support for this functionality is expected with the next release of AppSDK2.
