    Hi guys. I’ve checked around the forums about this issue and I thought I’d best ask the question straight up. I’m trying to isntall stats and it says I need an API Key. I know the first thing everyone will say is to visit this page:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/api-keys/

    Unfortunately, my API does not show up in the section it says. It then says if it doesn’t show, contact support to have them get one for you. I then tried to contact support, but it said “We only provide support for WordPress.com blogs here. Please go to the WordPress.org Support Forum for further help.”

    So here I am! If someone could help me with this matter I would greatly appreciate it!

    Cheers

    Hi,
    have you tried going to [link moderated] and in there Videos on the front page you will find a video on Plug-ins. They dont use the API Key, they use something different but still does a great job. No harm in having a look.

    fixtaili–it also says:

    To obtain an API key, you simply need to register for a WordPress.com account at http://www.wordpress.com/signup

    Thanks Michael, I did indeed sign up for a WordPress.com account, but I’m a little confused about how the .com and .org accounts fit together, if at all. If it’s simply a case of randomly creating a .com account just to grab the API key, how is that then associated with the .org account? Is there any support who can simply generate one for my .org account?
