Obtaining API Keys¶
You need to obtain API keys from your backend (BE) support team. These keys are essential for accessing the public and secret APIs required for your application.
Steps to Obtain API Keys¶
- Contact Engineering Team: Reach out to your backend support team to request the following API keys:
- Public API Key: This key is used for client-side access and allows your application to communicate with OLC services.
- Secret API Key: This key is used for secure backend operations and should be kept confidential.
- Provide Necessary Information: When contacting the BE support team, make sure to provide any necessary details they may need, such as:
- Your project name or identifier.
- The specific access requirements for your application.
Development Support¶
Your backend must be configured to handle requests using both the Public and Secret API keys. The backend should facilitate:
- Public API Access: Allow client-side applications to make requests using the Public API Key.
- Secret API Access: Handle sensitive operations securely using the Secret API Key. Ensure that this key is never exposed on the client side.
