API access to PricingControl

Before the API connection is available to your account you have to enter an IP which will be used for the API connection in your profile. Optional you can renew your API key.

From API 1.1 there is also a posibility to use an non-secured API key. This is a separate KEY which can only be used with the "overview" parameter. In the documentation is mentioned when the non-secured API key can be used.
Be sure so save the settings after changing.
