 ## 14. Use Linode domain API
 
+The tokens created in the classic manager and cloud manager are incompatible
+with one another. While the classic manager makes an all or nothing API, the
+newer cloud manager interface promises to produce API keys with a finer
+permission system. However, either way works just fine.

 First you need to login to your Linode account to get your API Key.

-   Under "Add an API key", Give the new key a "Label" (we recommend *ACME*),
-   set the expiry to never, "Create API Key", and copy the new key into the `LINODE_API_KEY` command
-   below.
-
-  * [Cloud Manager](https://cloud.linode.com/profile/tokens)
-
-   Click on "Add a Personal Access Token". Give the new key a "Label" (we
-   recommend *ACME*), give it Read/Write access to "Domains". "Submit", and
-   copy the new key into the `LINODE_API_KEY` command below.
+Then add an API key with label *ACME* and copy the new key into the following
+command.
 
 ```sh
 export LINODE_API_KEY="..."
