API Key
An API Key is a unique identifier used to authenticate a computer program or user making an API call (Application Programming Interface). It acts as a secure access token, enabling controlled interaction with the API by verifying the identity of the requester. API keys help maintain security and monitor API usage by limiting access to authorized users or applications, preventing misuse. They are essential in software development and integration, facilitating seamless communication between different systems and services while ensuring data privacy and integrity.
