What is an API key?
An API key is a unique code that allows applications to interact with external services and systems through an API (Application Programming Interface). It acts as a form of authentication, verifying that the app requesting access has permission to use the services provided.
In the context of AI tools like Anthropic or OpenAI’s GPT models, an API key is essential for connecting your application to these powerful AI platforms. Once integrated, this key enables secure communication between your app and the AI service, granting you access to features like text generation, natural language understanding, and other AI capabilities.
It's crucial to keep your API key secure, as it can be used to control and monitor usage, and prevent unauthorized access to your services.
