APIs are the means of communication between software, letting tools like YouTube or Spotify be embedded outside their native habitats, broadening their usage.
API keys secure these interfaces by ensuring only specific users can access the API and its data. They are crucial for maintaining control and preventing issues.
Public API keys are less secure, while private API keys provide a higher level of protection, especially for sensitive data, and critical operations.
API keys can identify projects, manage application usage, and set limits on information access, helping to prevent abuse like spamming or data breaches.
