Title: automatic upgrade api
Post by: RamSense on November 20, 2025, 07:28:16 AM
I just ordered a plus upgrade. I was already using the free api key.
I noticed that after paying for the upgrade, and received confirmation, it stays free.
Than i read that i have to go into the tip-qfeeds account and edit my free api key to change it to plus.

I think it will be very convenient for the user to have this api altered to this paid version automatically, instead of now manually.
Why would a user want its api to stay free when he/she just ordered an upgrade?

p.s. is there a way to check if my qfeeds plugin is getting the plus feed instead of the free? And should i alter my url in Adguard Home for this plus package? or is there another url only for plus to use in adguard home?

Hi RamSense,

To start of with; thank you so much for your support!

The reason that we don't assign the license automatically is because a lot of our users have multiple API-keys. That said it's not up to us to decide which API-key should be upgraded. In order to keep the process the same for everyone we've chosen for the current system even if there's just one active API-key.

To see if the plus license is activated successfully you can have a look at the number of IOCs which are loaded. For IPs you should see somewhere around 880K IOCs and domains around 1000K.

There's no need to change the URL if you use the right API key of course.

Thank you for your prompt response and explanation.
The table amount has increased indeed. All is up and running.
Thanks again

Glad to hear that it's working! You did bring up an idea though that we provide more license information in the OPNsense plugin/widget. That way it's easier to recognize if your license is loaded correctly. Thank you!
