[Important] Open API Partner Key Reset Improvement

Dear Developers,

To further enhance the flexibility and security of Open API partner key management and reduce the risk of service disruption, Shopee has optimized the partner key reset process. The changes are as follows:

1. Support setting expiration time for the old key

- When resetting API Partner Key, the new key will take effect immediately, without needing to set an effective time;

- You can now set the expiration time for the old key, with a maximum of 72 hours, to allow a smoother transition and minimize service interruptions during system updates.

2. No automatic reset after key expiration

- The API Partner Key is still valid for 180 days from the date of generation;

- Once expired, the platform will no longer automatically generate a new key. Instead, the expired key will be marked as invalid and API calls using it will be blocked;

- ISVs can reset the key manually based on their internal system schedule.

Please keep track of your API Partner Key’s expiration date and ensure timely reset to avoid any interruption to your API services

尊敬的开发者，

为进一步提升 Open API Partner Key 的管理灵活性与安全性，降低服务中断风险，Shopee 已优化 API Partner Key 的重置流程，具体改动如下：

1. 支持设置旧 Key 的失效时间

- 重置 API Partner Key 时，新 Key 将立即生效，无需设置生效时间；

- 旧 Key 可设置最长 72 小时后失效，帮助 ISV 系统平稳完成 Key 切换，降低服务中断风险。

2. API Partner Key 到期后不再自动重置

- API Partner Key 的有效期仍为自生成之日起 180 天；

- 到期后，平台将不再自动生成新 Key，而是直接判定原 Key 已失效，阻止使用其调用 Open API；

- ISV 可根据自身系统节奏主动发起 Key 重置操作。

请您及时关注 Live API Partner Key 的有效期，并提前完成重置操作，以确保服务正常运行不受影响。
