    Match the following API key usage scenarios with their descriptions:

    <p>Authentication = Used to authenticate a user, developer, or calling program to an API Authorization = Used to authorize a user, developer, or calling program to access specific resources or perform specific actions on an API Rate limiting = Used to limit the number of requests that a user, developer, or calling program can make to an API Usage tracking = Used to track the usage of an API by users, developers, and calling programs</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following API key security tips with their recommendations:

    <p>Keep your API keys secret = Do not share your API keys with anyone you do not trust Use strong API keys = API keys should be long and complex to make them difficult to guess or crack Rotate your API keys regularly = Reduce the risk of unauthorized access by regularly changing your API keys Monitor your API usage = Watch out for suspicious activity, such as a sudden increase in the number of requests from a particular user or IP address</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following API key characteristics with their definitions:

    <p>Unique identifier = A value that is different for each user, developer, or calling program Long strings of random characters = Typical format for API keys Generated by the API provider = Who is responsible for creating API keys Passed to the API in a variety of ways = Different methods of providing API keys to the API</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following API key usage scenarios with their explanations:

    <p>Authentication = Used to verify the identity of the user, developer, or calling program Authorization = Determines what actions or resources the user, developer, or calling program is allowed to access Rate limiting = Prevents abuse of the API by limiting the number of requests that can be made within a certain time period Usage tracking = Provides information on how the API is being used, including who is using it and how often</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following API key best practices with their descriptions:

    <p>Keep your API keys secret = To prevent unauthorized access to your API Use strong API keys = To make it difficult for attackers to guess or crack the key Rotate your API keys regularly = To minimize the impact of a compromised key Monitor your API usage = To detect and respond to suspicious activity</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following API key security measures with their explanations:
