Refreshing the EA API Access Key

This article describes how to refresh your EA API Access Key by regenerating the API Access Key.

By default, Azure EA API keys expire every 6 months. When your Azure EA API key expires, Anodot Cost will not be able to access your Azure billing data until you generate a new Azure EA API key in the Azure EA portal, as described in the instructions below.

In Microsoft Azure

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Navigate to Cost Management + Billing.
3. Select Billing scopes from the navigation menu and then select the billing account that you want to work with.
4. In the navigation menu, select Usage + Charges.
5. Select Manage API Access Keys.
6. Click Generate to generate the key.
   
   

In Anodot 

1. Login to Anodot Cloud Cost.
2. Click on your user email and navigate to the Account page.
   
   
   
   
3. On the account menu navigate to the API Access Key page.
4. Click + Renew API Access Key.
   
   
   
   .
5. Paste in the new API Access Key you generated in Step 1, and add the new Effective Date.
6. Click Renew.
   
   
   
   

After performing the above steps the account will run (automatically every day) and you will be able to see updated data under your EA account.
