Security is paramount. Never expose your API key directly in client-side code (e.g., JavaScript). Store it securely in environment variables or a secrets management system. Limit the scope of the API key to only the necessary permissions. Regularly review API key permissions and rotate API keys periodically to minimize the impact of potential breaches.
