Hi @FrankGrimm,

 

The API needs to be generated via your profile and not possible via management console.

 

Do the following:

  1. Log onto your tenant, for example, https://<tenantname>.com.

  2. Click your profile in the top right corner and select Profile settings.

  3. Select API keys.

  4. Click Generate new key.

  5. Enter an API key description and select when the API key should expire.

  6. Click Generate.

    An API key is generated.

  7. Copy the API key and store it in a safe place.

I hope this helps!
