API keys and groups
Create safer keys, choose the right group, and keep usage organized.
Your API key is the credential your tools use to call our service.
API key basics
Treat your key like a password.
Do not share keys in chat screenshots, public repos, or client-side code.
Rotate or revoke a key if you think it was exposed.
What groups are for
Groups help separate traffic policies, routing behavior, and usage tracking.
Using the correct group helps your requests go through the expected path.
Best practice
Use separate keys for different apps, environments, or teams.
Name keys clearly so usage reports are easy to read.
If a key behaves unexpectedly, create a new key in the right group and retest with Use key instructions.
