Thanks in advance for any insight and advice.

I have a user who is trying to use the RSS reader “Feedbin” to view the latest posts in my Discourse forum.

This user recently asked…

_Apparently because MFCC is using Discourse with authentication required, for me to read posts via RSS you’ll need to generate an API key for me (which is basically a per-user key that allows someone to do operations over HTTP without being directly logged in)._

**Would it be possible for me to supply this user with an API key that would suit his needs?**

At first glance it appears I already have 1 API key which is probably being used to connect my Wordpress site with Discourse, and that I do not have the option to create any others keys.

I appreciate any words of wisdom. ✌
