## API Keys

Learn how to create and manage API keys for accessing Audio Audit's REST API.

## Creating an API Key

1. Navigate to your account settings
2. Click on "API Keys" in the sidebar
3. Click "Generate New Key"
4. Copy and store your key securely — you will not be able to see this again so make a note

## Using API Keys

Include your API key in the `Authorization` header:

```
Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here
```

## Testing Your API Key

You can test your API key by fetching your user account information:

```bash
curl -X POST https://audioaudit.io/api/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "query { user { id email firstName lastName } }"
  }'
```

You should see a GraphQL response with your own `id`, `email`, `firstName`, `lastName`.

## Security Best Practices

- Never expose API keys in client-side code
- Rotate keys regularly
- Use different keys for different environments and applications
