Security best practices

• Never expose your API key in client-side code, public repositories, or anywhere accessible to unauthorized parties.
• Store your API key in environment variables or a secrets manager, not in source code.
• Rotate your API key periodically.
• Monitor your usage to detect unauthorized access early.
• If you suspect your key has been compromised, contact support immediately to have it revoked and replaced.
