I was trying to integrate a self-hosted Cal with n8n to, eventually, offer a flow that would make it easier for the community to connect additional nodes (e.g., SuiteCRM) Cal.com's dev docs (https://developer.cal.com/api/authentication) and n8n's documentation (https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/cal/#using-api-keys) lead to what appears to be an older variant of Cal, where you could generate an API key from the Security menu That functionality seems to have been moved to a $189 per month feature? or is there something I'm misunderstanding? Thanks!

Hey @George Larson the API itself is not open source and it is not needed to self-host your own Cal webapp instance.

Yeah, I understand that. I'm already hosting an instance Thanks, but that's not the question that I was asking The linked documentation for Cal and n8n both show screenshots of an interface, under Security, where you generate an API key for automation. That doesn't match the UI in my self-hosted instance. So it seems to me that the ability to generate an API key has been removed and that, in the current version, generating an API key requires a $189/mo subscription. That would mean that I'm not going to build the n8n workflow as I had intended originally But I wanted to make sure that's correct and it isn't just a case of me being dumb Has generating an API key been removed and the documentation is just out-of-date? Or is it just that I need to do something differently? Thanks!

You can generate API keys on our hosted version. But self-hosted is considered an enterprise feature. Is that what's you're asking.

Ah, yeah, probably. Honestly, I'm not sure why the n8n docs want an API key when you can just call a webhook from Cal. I'll keep twiddling with it. Thanks for the explanation
