    • Click your username in the top-right corner.
    • Select API Key.

  2. Generate Key

    • Click Generate API Key to create a new key.
    • Any previously generated key becomes invalid.

API Key Generation

2. Security Measures

  • Key Generation
    Uses cryptographically secure randomness to produce robust keys.

  • Storage & Verification

    • Keys are stored as hashes.
    • During authentication, a rehashed version of your submitted key is compared against the stored hash, keeping raw keys hidden.

3. Using Your API Key

  • Keep It Secret
    Store your key securely and never share it publicly.
  • Integration
    Insert the key in API calls or platform clients to confirm your identity and permissions.

For details on integrating your API key with specific services or clients, refer to relevant documentation or the API Integration Guide.
