Overview

By default, licenses created through the BuiltByBit marketplace integration display the buyer’s numeric user ID. Providing a BuiltByBit API token allows MC License to resolve those IDs into real usernames automatically — both for new licenses as they come in, and for any existing ones via a one-time backfill.
A BuiltByBit Ultimate membership is required to access the API and generate tokens.

​
Creating a token

Head to your BuiltByBit API token page: https://builtbybit.com/account/api/ Create a new token with the following details:
  • Name — anything that helps you identify it (e.g. MC License)
  • Project name — your project or organisation name
  • Type — must be set to Private key
  • Allow use with our V1 endpoints must be selected
Once created, copy the token.

​
Adding the token to MC License

Head to the Keys page in your dashboard and find the BuiltByBit API Token section. Click Set Token, paste your token in, and save. As soon as you save, MC License will kick off a background backfill that resolves usernames on all your existing BuiltByBit licenses. Any new licenses created after this point will have their username resolved automatically.
