Security Best Practices

• Never commit API keys to version control

• Use environment variables for key storage

• Rotate keys regularly

• Use separate keys for development and production

Key Rotation

To rotate your API key:

1. Generate a new key in the dashboard

2. Update your application with the new key

3. Test that the new key works

4. Revoke the old key

IP Whitelisting

For additional security, you can whitelist specific IP addresses in your account settings.
