Where to get the Alchemyapi API key?

Question

I'm doing the, Getting Started with AlchemyAPI Using Ruby, Ruby tutorial. But I cannot seem to find my API key.

Source: http://www.alchemyapi.com/developers/getting-started-guide/using-alchemyapi-with-ruby

At step 3:

3) Configure the Ruby SDK to use your API Key Now that you have the Ruby SDK code on your computer, you need to do configure it to use your API key. In the alchemyapi_ruby directory, run:

ruby alchemyapi.rb YOUR_API_KEY

Where YOUR_API_KEY is the 40 character API key you received in your e-mail when you registered. If everything goes okay, you should see the following output:

But I didn't get an API Key in an email...

The tutorial sent me to IBM Bluemix to register, which I have.

This is the email from signing up.

After confirming - still no API Key. I've logged into the Bluemix site and have been searching around but also don't see it.

I apologize in advance if I've missed something obvious. But I'm wasting a lot of time here and would really appreciate any help :)

Has anyone signed up for this service recently and been able to get their API key. Can you tell me where it came from?

Answer 1

Login to Bluemix, go to Services & APIs. In Watson section chose AlchemyAPI and create one. After AlchemyAPI is created go to the dashboard and select created instance.

Under Service Credentials you can find the apikey:

Answer 2

After the acquisition of AlchemyApi by IBM the endpoints have changed hence the old legacy code in GitHub will not be able to use the key which you get from ibm bluemix.

Answer 3

Click on the watson --> then on the previously created credentials --> again click create. Then highlight the 'service credentials' to see the json format details.
