Pyzotero: Finding the API Key
I'm working my way through Pyzotero to see if it will do what I am hoping for.
Pyzotero needs my API Key. Its documentation links me to the Zotero Settings page which shows the UserID [thank you] and a number of entries titled "Automatic Zotero Client Key" with two relevant columns: Edit Key and Delete Key. Only the Delete Key column has an entry and it says "Delete Key" which is not what I want to do. I cannot figure out how to get an actual API Key value [Pyzotero's example shows "ABC1234XYZ"] that Pyzotero will accept and would be grateful for some guidance. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks very much, Bill Cole

adamsmithYou should see "Create New Private Key" at the top of the page. You can't see the value of existing keys for security reasons.
