API Key Best Practices
Your personal API keys have full access to your Cellulose account. We recommend treating your personal API keys as sensitive information like you do with passwords. Here are some best practices:- Restrict usage / retrieval of your API keys to the small subset of development / production machines that need them. Even better, create one for each of them so you can better isolate intrusions and revoke them in a timely manner.
- Don’t store the API key(s) in plaintext or code like in a version control system. Use a managed secrets / password manager instead.
