# API.Bible Key Issues

* The Bible reading Plans plugin will not accept the API.Bible access key I retrieved
from the api.bible website. I get an error that the key must be 32 characters
long, and the key I was issued is 21 characters long. I contacted API.Bible and
was informed that the keys are now 21 characters in length, older keys are 32
characters. The email I got from them states, “The older one is no longer available
for creating new accounts. That means you would need to make a request with the
plugin developer to update the plugin to handle both API key lengths for the
best compatibility.”
* Please advise.
* Thanks for all you do!

* Thanks for the quick response! The 21-character key is accepted now, and the
reading plan shows up [on the page](https://pbaptistchurch.org/br/). But the
reading passages are not embedded in the page. I’ve checked the syntax for the
ABS entry to be correct: [bible-reading-plan source=”ABS” reading_plan=”back-
to-the-bible-chronological” version=”KJV-P”] Looking into what else could be.(
WordPress v6.9; PHP v8.2.18)
* Thanks again for the quick response.

* That code works on my system, using my, older, abs api key. I wonder if it’s
a new/old key thing. Can you check the logs?
* What does it say on the screen when the passages don’t load?

* I have got a new key. Looks like they’ve changed the API endpoint too. Working
on it.

* I saw your post above after I posted this. Thanks for your prompt attention!
* I see _BibleReadingPlans_ entries in the debug.log file, should I post it all
here? :/

* I obtained a new key, and found there’s a new api endpoint to go with it. I’m
uploading a 3.0.11 shortly.

* Allrighty, that works! Thanks again, your quick responses are most appreciated.
I’m waiting to hear back from Bible Brain (DBP) API for a key to try that option.
* Thanks for all you do.
