Introducing the Personal API Key: Elevate Your Authentication Experience` Vectara has launched a new authentication option called the Personal API Key to address customer pain points with OAuth 2.0 and API keys. The Personal API Key provides a simpler alternative for those who find OAuth cumbersome or incompatible with their frameworks or integrations, while offering a wide range of capabilities akin to what they can achieve through the console. This key must be treated like a password, stored securely, and used in conjunction with a customer ID to authenticate requests. Users can leverage their Personal API Key by including it in API calls, just like query and indexing API keys, ensuring secure and efficient execution of operations. The Personal API Key is designed to balance ease of use with stringent security measures, catering to the diverse needs of Vectara users.
