Securely using API keys in Postman
Blog post from Postman
The text provides guidance on securely managing API keys within Postman, emphasizing three main strategies to protect sensitive data. It advises against embedding API keys directly in code, suggesting instead storing them as environment variables within Postman to maintain flexibility and security. When sharing environments with team members, it recommends keeping API keys private by using the current value setting, which remains local to a user's session and is not synced or shared with the team unless explicitly chosen. Furthermore, it warns against inadvertently leaking API keys in publicly shared documentation, advocating for the use of placeholder text to prevent exposure. The text concludes by highlighting additional resources for further insights into API key security, referencing a blog post on Postman's GitHub practices and Google's guidelines for using API keys securely in Google Cloud Platform applications.
