@mt26691: What Is an API Key? An API key is a secret string your app sends to services like Stripe, OpenAI, or Google Maps so they know who is calling, what that app is allowed to do, and which account should be billed. This 60-second beginner-friendly breakdown explains API keys using a simple request trace: your app attaches the key, the server checks it, the account is identified, and the request is either approved or rejected. You'll also learn the safest rule: keep API keys on the server, never in the browser. #apikey #webdev #backend #codingforbeginners
