Hello BradH350,
Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.
It sounds like you may be trying to use a 3rd-party app that is asking you for an API Key with a specific Redirect URI. Usually an application developer will generate their own API Key that lets their app integrate with Constant Contact, however some developers require you to provide them with an API Key. Since this process was designed to be done by the app developers themselves, it can be confusing for end users to find or generate this information.
We have two different versions of our API, so the steps you take to generate an API key will depend on what version of our API the integration you are looking to connect with uses, as they are created through different platforms and are not cross compatible.
If the app you are using is asking you for an API Key and Secret, then it most likely utilizes our V3 API. Your 3rd party integration may also provide you with the Redirect URI to add to your key. Follow steps 1-3 at the following link.: https://v3.developer.constantcontact.com/api_guide/apps_create.html
If you are still running into issues, or the steps don't match the instructions that you are following, please send us a link to or copy of the instructions that you were provided so that we can try to provide additional insight.
You can reach our team directly/securely via email at webservices@constantcontact.com
Please have a look and let us know if you have any other questions!
