Since CKAN 2.9 the APIkey is discouraged and its use willb e removed in a future version.
The new auth method for API is through API token, which can be multiple, and can be revoked one at time if needed.
They can be generated from the command line using the syntax:
ckan -c CONFIG_FILE user token add USERNAME TOKENNAME
E.g.:
(creaa) $ Q=$(ckan -c ../etc/ckan.ini user token add test03 test_token3)
