Generated API Key
Using Authentication Credentials
Include your credentials in each API request. Here’s an example request:
Replace the <API_KEY> key with your API key, and provide unique name and slug for a link.
Securing Your Credentials
- Never expose your API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, or client-side code.
- Store your keys securely using environment variables or a secure key management service.
Handling Expired or Compromised Credentials
If your credentials are expired or compromised, immediately delete the compromised key, generate a new API Key, and update your applications accordingly.
