To add another API key, click on the Create a new API key button.

Best Practices for Using API Keys

  1. Keeping your API keys in your environment variables is a good and safe practice.

  2. Don’t store your API key directly in your code.

  3. Avoid exposing your secret API keys on GitHub, on the client-side, or in any other location that is open to the public.

  4. Periodically change your API keys. To do so:

    • Create a new API key,

    • Update your application with the new API key.

    • Delete the old API key.
