API Key Types

There are 2 types of API Keys and great care needs to be taken to not cross their uses.

Public API Key

The Public API Key is an identification only API Key solely used to identify the origination of the network request. Since is it not used for authentication, it can be publicly shared across the Internet. It is used for client-side HTML and JavaScript requests where the API Key is embedded in publicly accessible code.

Private API Key

The Private API Key is an authentication API Key granting protected access to the Intelligent Handshake® platform and must not be exposed plain text to Internet traffic. It is used for server-side API calls.
