API keys are used to authenticate your requests to the Yorlet API. To create an API key, you need to have a Yorlet account.

​
Secret and publishable keys

Yorlet uses two types of API keys:
  • Secret key: This key is used to authenticate your requests to the Yorlet API. Keep this key secure and never expose it in public.
  • Publishable key: This key is used to authenticate your requests to the Yorlet API. You can expose this key in public.
Secret keys have full access to your account and can perform any action on your behalf. Keep them secure and never expose them in public. If you suspect that a secret key has been compromised, roll the key immediately.

​
