API Key generation in self host free version.

[ansulagrawal]

I have self hosted a cal.com docker image in azure vm. Now I want to use the apis for to integrate it with my different services. Does it require a commercial licence for it. If not how to get the api key and use it.

To generate an API key in a self-hosted Cal.com instance without a commercial license, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Cal.com repository and set it up locally.
2. Add the staging license key 1a1f8138-0bfc-4f37-b4af-1e24fd145839 to your .env file as the value for CALCOM_LICENSE_KEY.
3. Install the API submodule as instructed in the documentation.
4. Start the Cal.com server using yarn dev on localhost.
5. Visit /settings/developer/api-keys on your local instance to create test API keys ^[1].

This process allows you to generate and use API keys without needing a commercial license.

@dosu Can I do it using Docker?

Looks like the real answer is no, if you're only able to use it when on localhost... honestly what a load of horse crap from the Cal.com team. Lock us behind a license for multi-user, or actual paid appointments when self hosting. Calling this project open source is a sham.

I'm still not clear on this - can self hosted instance get an api key or not?

[ldaniel-jmz]

API is a must have for any open source project!

[francescogatto]

So is not possible to use api in a self-hosted instance? (like elastio)

[pdmarf]

it's got webhooks, but api looks like it is commercial 😤
