API key security
An API key is your credential for accessing DashVector. Keep it secure and never expose it publicly to prevent unauthorized access and financial loss.
-
DashVector uses API keys for authentication and billing. Only the root account can manage API keys, with a maximum of three active keys. Do not share keys with unauthorized developers.
-
Each root account is limited to 10 API key creations per day.
