Creating Your First API Key

API keys are used to authenticate your requests to the Kawaa API.

Generating an API Key

1. Log in to your Kawaa dashboard
2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
3. Click the "Generate New Key" button
4. Give your key a descriptive name (e.g., "Production Server" or "Development")
5. Copy the key immediately - it won't be shown again

API Key Best Practices

• Never expose keys in client-side code - Always make API calls from your server
• Use environment variables - Store keys in environment variables, not in code
• Create separate keys - Use different keys for development and production
• Rotate keys regularly - Delete old keys and generate new ones periodically
• Monitor usage - Check your dashboard for unusual API activity

Revoking API Keys

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, you can revoke it immediately from the API Keys page. The key will stop working instantly.
