API keys
Create, limit, rotate and revoke keys in the dashboard under API keys.
Kinds of keys
| Kind | Prefix | Where | Can |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server key | nbd_live_ | Your backend | Chosen from filters and sort, autocomplete, search listings and write listings; all indexes or chosen ones |
| Browser key | nbd_pub_ | Your website | Search listings, filters and sort, autocomplete; only from the websites it lists |
| First key | nbd_live_ | Your backend | The key made at sign-up: filters and sort, autocomplete |
Create a key
In the dashboard → API keys, choose the kind, its permissions and, for a browser key, its websites. The secret is shown once: copy it then.
Rotate and revoke
Rotating makes a new secret and retires the old one; revoking stops a key at once. Both are recorded under Activity.
