 * 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/](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.

 * 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?
