API keys
Your API requests are authenticated using the account's API key. If you do not include your key when making an API request or use an incorrect one, we return an error.

Keeping your keys safe
It is strongly recommended to keep your API key safe and confidential. To help keep your API keys secure, follow these best practices:
Do not embed API keys directly in code. API keys that are embedded in code can be accidentally exposed to the public. For instance, you might overlook removing keys from shared code. Instead of embedding API keys directly into your applications, consider storing them in environment variables or files located outside your application's source tree.
Do not store API keys in files inside your application's source tree. If you store API keys in files, place them outside your application's source tree. This helps prevent your keys from being included in your source code control system. This precaution is crucial, especially when using a public source code management system like GitHub.
Compromised keys
In the event that your API key becomes compromised, kindly reach out to us at support@akatop.atlassian.net, providing the key for prompt deactivation. Our dedicated service ensures the swift invalidation of the compromised key, accompanied by the seamless generation of a replacement key for your continued security and access assurance.
