Hello

I’m currently trying to integrate Censys with an external tool, which requires the legacy API credentials, specifically the API UID and Secret Key.

I was able to generate a Personal Access Token successfully from my account, but I could not find any option to obtain the API UID or Secret Key (API ID and API Secret) anywhere in the dashboard.

Is there still a way to obtain legacy API credentials? If not, is there a recommended way to make tools like recon-ng work with the new authentication system?

Thank you for your help!

Hey there, that is not something that is currently on our roadmap but I created a feature request for it.
