API Keys

Securely authenticate your API requests.

Creating API Keys

API keys authenticate your requests to Serla. Generate keys from the API Keys page in your dashboard.

Key Types

Serla supports two types of API keys:

  • Test Keys - Use in development. Prefixed with sk_test_
  • Live Keys - Use in production. Prefixed with sk_live_

Security Best Practices

  • Never commit API keys to version control
  • Store keys in environment variables
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Revoke unused or compromised keys immediately
  • Use separate keys for each environment

Revoking Keys

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, revoke it immediately from the API Keys page. Revoked keys cannot be restored - you'll need to create a new key.
