Security Best Practices
Essential security guidelines for API integration
Comprehensive guide to maintaining security when working with our APIs, including key management, secure communication, and protecting sensitive information.
API Key Protection
Never expose your API keys in public repositories or client-side code. Use environment variables and secure storage mechanisms.
Transport Security
Always use HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or later) when communicating with our APIs. We enforce this by rejecting non-secure connections.
Application Security
Implement proper input validation and sanitization to prevent injection attacks. Our APIs provide validation but adding your own layer of protection is recommended.
Key Rotation and Management
Regularly rotate your API keys, especially after team member changes. Use our key management features to track and monitor API key usage.
Handling Sensitive Data
Be mindful of how you handle sensitive data received from our APIs. Implement proper data classification, encryption at rest, and access controls.
Security Monitoring
Enable security alerts and monitoring to detect unusual activities. Our platform provides real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities.
