Hello everybody,

despite the fact that I am logged in as an Administrator, no Admin API Key is shown in the custom integration configuration page. Why? How to get an Admin API Key ?

N.B.: I am using the “ghost:2-alpine” Docker image…

Thanks in advance for your help,  
Alessandro

Have you updated to the latest Ghost version (2.16.2)?

Nope!

I’ve just tested the latest version (2.16.2), and I finally manage to get Admin API keys 🙂

Thanks a lot,
