Security-related changes to the authorization method on Producer API
The Producer API has historically received the client's API key as a parameter in the query string/form param of the request. To enhance security of the service, we are removing this ability to pass the APIKey in the query string/form param of the request. Going forward, the only supported method to provide the API key will be as a Bearer token in an Authorization HTTP header.
The new process for sending the API key is documented in the API user guides that can be downloaded from the Producer API URL (e.g. https://feed.ihsmarkit.com).
