DETAILS

What is api?

An application programming interface is a computing interface that defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc.

How api keys work?

API keys are used to track and control how the API is being used, for example to prevent malicious use or abuse of the API. The API key often acts as both a unique identifier and a secret token for authentication, and is assigned a set of access that is specific to the identity that is associated with it.

How api token work?

Usually an API token is a unique identifier of an application requesting access to your service. Your service would generate an API token for the application to use when requesting your service. You can then match the token they provide to the one you store in order to authenticate.
