Understand how to securely authenticate your requests using API keys, including key management and security considerations.

Include your API key in the Authorization header of all API requests.

Never expose API keys in client-side code, public repositories, or logs. Store them securely in environment variables.
Rotate your API keys regularly and use different keys for different environments (development, staging, production).
Monitor your API usage to detect unusual activity and ensure you stay within rate limits.
Always use HTTPS when making API requests to ensure your API keys are transmitted securely.
