API Key Management

Securing API access through unique keys that authenticate requests.

What is API Key Management?

API key management ensures secure and controlled access to APIs by generating, storing, and rotating API keys.

API key security is crucial to prevent unauthorized access.

Best practices for API key management include:

  • Using environment variables to store keys
  • Rotating API keys regularly
  • Limiting API key permissions based on least privilege

    • Cloud providers and API gateways provide built-in tools for API key management.
