Getting your API key
Create API keys from the Vaikora dashboard. Keep keys secret and never commit them to source control.
API key types
Live keys protect production traffic. Test keys let you develop and run integration tests without affecting production usage or billing.
Using your API key
Authenticate with an HTTP header, an environment variable, or the SDK. The header method is the most common for server-side calls.
Key rotation
Rotate keys on a schedule and immediately if a key is exposed. Vaikora supports issuing a new key and revoking the old one without downtime.
