Multiple Steam API Keys?

[Shadow]

So, I own a Garrys Mod server, and I need 2 steam API keys, one for the server so that it can download files from steam, and the other for my forums for a donation system. I understand I can make a new steam account, but it requires me to have a game in my account to generate an API key. Is there any way to do this?

You can only have one API key per account. You can revoke and re-register an API key at any time via the following link: http://steamcommunity.com/dev

You should be able to re-use the same key with no issues with both the Garry's Mod server and the donation script though.

Can I make the API key work for 2 domains?

Are you using this script? http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Workshop_for_Dedicated_Servers

If so what do you have the domain set to right now?

I use a server host called NFOServers and in the control panel you put the API key in and it auto downloads the workshop files to the server. The API domain is currently set to the server domain and i also need an API key for my donation script which the domain for that is my forums.

Try using it for both and see if it works. If you need to change the domain in the API registration page set it to your own web space and adjust the key in the NFOServers control panel. You'll be able to tell people quickly if the workshop script doesn't function. After a quick Google search it looks the NFOservers easy setup just ties into the command line of the server, so it's all very standard.

There is no way to register a second key on a single account, so if it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't. I'm no expert on the Steam API by any means, but it doesn't hurt to try.

So you're saying I should change the API to my forums, and update it in NFOServers? I will try it and see if it works.
