I need some help setting this API up on our website.

So basically, I want to use 3scale as a way to generate user keys and
then record the usage statistics of each user key. I want to generate
the user key and then report the hit of that user key all using the
API. How do I do this?

I dont need a portal so the portal content is not important to me. I
already have one plan created and would like all of the user keys to
follow that plan.

Hopefully this makes sense because I am a bit confused when reading
the documentation.

Thank you

Yes, you can do this. Each key is tied to a user that’s created for your API when it’s set up and there are two ways of doing it:

I guess the second is what you need, this way you create new users from your existing system. You can find the documentation for this here: http://www.3scale.net/support/api-user-management/
