For CDISC Library API developers, we recommend reviewing the “on-release” instructional steps to prepare. CDISC conducted preliminary testing of multiple systems with individual developers to assess impact. During this assessment, CDISC found that the implementation of the new “API Key” authentication method was minimal (i.e., less than one hour). However, this may vary from system-to-system, which is why the following information can be helpful. Please ensure you review all CDISC communication about the CDISC Library.
