Key Management

• Generate multiple keys for different applications
• Rotate keys regularly for security
• Delete unused keys from your dashboard
• Each key logs its access patterns
• Immediately revoke compromised keys

​

Security Best Practices

• Never commit API keys to version control
• Use environment variables to store keys
• Rotate keys regularly if compromised
• Restrict key usage to specific IP addresses (available on Enterprise plans)
• Use separate keys for development and production
