How do I create a channel access token for LINE (messaging app in Japan), to use with their API?

Question

I'm trying to use the LINE API. I am following these github instructions and just need to create a 'Channel Access Token' and 'Channel Secret'.

line_bot_api = LineBotApi('YOUR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN')
handler = WebhookHandler('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')

The main issue I am having is that the docs pages are out of date, and I can't find out how to enable the API for my business account: https://developers.line.me/messaging-api/getting-started#apply_messagingapi The 'bot API' section no longer exists anywhere on any of the categories on the left.

Documentation links

link #1 to devdocs API page

link #2 to developers page

link #3 getting started guide (i have a business account)

From the Line docs:

To respond to messages from your users using the Messaging API, you first need to enable webhooks for your LINE@ account on the LINE@ Manager. You’ll then need to get a Channel access token and set a webhook URL on the Channel Console.

thank you Kai! I have enabled webhooks already. How do I get the Channel access token? – EJW Aug 11 '17 at 22:29
Per the documentation, it looks like that should be found on the channel console – Kai Aug 11 '17 at 22:31

Kai, the channel console looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/2F5L5 But it doesn't give me a token – EJW Aug 11 '17 at 22:44
You enabled the API? – Kai Aug 11 '17 at 23:06
Yup! I did. It almost feels like the UI of my admin page is missing something – EJW Aug 11 '17 at 23:09
