Welcome to our API Key Management service! 🌐🔑 This page provides essential information about API keys, their usage, and security best practices.
What is an API Key?
An API Key is a unique identifier used to authenticate requests to our API. It acts as a digital signature, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific endpoints.
- Purpose: Authentication, rate limiting, and tracking usage
- Format: Typically a string like
sk_1234567890abcdef - Security: Never expose your API key in client-side code or public logs
How to Generate an API Key
- Log in to your account at
/en/services/api-key/usage - Navigate to API Keys section under your profile

- Save the key securely — it will not be shown again!
Best Practices
- 🔒 Rotate keys regularly to minimize risk
- 📁 Store keys in environment variables or secure vaults
