How do I keep my API keys secret?

ExplainerUpdated

A key acts for your account, and you pay for whatever it's used for. Treat it like a password.

Do#

  • Keep keys on your server and call Clatter Labs from there.
  • Store them in a secret manager, your host's secret settings, or environment variables.
  • Give each integration its own key with only the permissions it needs.
  • Set an expiry and rotate keys regularly.
  • Revoke keys you don't use.

Don't#

  • Put a key in front-end code (websites), mobile apps or browser extensions.
  • Commit a key to a repository, public or private.
  • Paste a key into chats, tickets, forums or AI prompts.
  • Share a screenshot that shows a key.

If a key might have leaked, revoke it right away in API keys.
