In research we’ve seen people mix up the service ID and API key because they’re both 36 character UUIDs. We can’t get rid of the service ID because it’s used to look up the API key. Instead, we should change API key to be one long string, which contains both the service ID, API key and (optionally) the name of the key. For example: ``` casework_production-8b3aa916-ec82-434e-b0c5-d5d9b371d6a3-dcdc5083-2fee-4fba-8afd-51f3f4bcb7b0 ``` We still need to keep the old, separate, key and service ID for a while until people have updated their clients. But they’re now both on this page, rather than on two separate pages, which should make for less fussing anyway. This shouldn’t be rolled out until the new clients are available. - [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-python-client/pull/36 - [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-node-client/pull/10 - [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-ruby-client/pull/15 - [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-java-client/pull/38 - [ ] PHP????
