How does the Tastypie APIKey authentication work? I know there is a signal as mentioned in the documentation: from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.db import models from tastypie.models import create_api_key models.signals.post_save.connect(create_api_key, sender=User) However, when is this called? If I want to give a user their APIkey I know I can find it in the APIKey db that this create_api_key function adds the key into, but where and when do I call this models.signals.post_save function? Is this just another django model? I think it is? Is this called everytime a user

I found lots of questions regarding this - and I am almost ashamed to ask it myself. But no matter how hard I try, I simple do not get the Maps API running at all! Not with the demo project, com.example.mapdemo, not with my own project. I definitely have my debug.keystore SHA1 fingerprint registered, now for both my app and com.example - I also tried the browser API key where everybody says that would work, too. BUT NO. I always get: 06-16 11:21:29.860: E/Google Maps Android API(2382): Authorization failure. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start for how to

I currently use a MapActivity in my application. I use it with 2 API Keys. One for debugging, and one for "production" I am fed up with changing these values in the xml layout: <view class="com.google.android.maps.MapView" android:id="@+id/myGmap" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:enabled="true" android:clickable="true" android:apiKey="@string/api_key_prod" /> I am fed up trying to change the apikey each time and replace prod by debug each time. Is that possible to change this key within the onCreate() of my application. Imagine that I have a

I want to push some codes to my GitHub Repository. These codes are in different languages like Javascript , Java , Python etc. Some of those codes contain some private API key that I don't want to publish. Is there any way to hide the keys automatically.? Should I remove it from my code manually.? There are many projects that I want to push to GitHub. So, manual removal is not a good option. Przemysław Zalewski You should consider using .env files and read the keys from the environmental variables. How to do so depends on the language and tools you use (for node.js , php , etc.). You can

I am creating a Twitter client for Mac OS X and I have a Consumer secret. It's to my understanding I should not share this secret key. The problem is that when I put it as a string literal into my application and use it, like this: #define QQTwitterConsumerSecret @"MYSECRETYOUMAYNOTKNOW" [[QQTwitterEngine alloc] initWithConsumerKey:QQTwitterConsumerKey consumerSecret:QQTwitterConsumerSecret]; It is in the data section of my application's binary. Hackers can read this, disassemble the application, etcetera. Is there any safe way of storing the Consumer secret? Should I encrypt it? There is no

I am just starting to think about how api keys and secret keys work. Just 2 days ago I signed up for Amazon S3 and installed the S3Fox Plugin . They asked me for both my Access Key and Secret Access Key, both of which require me to login to access. So I'm wondering, if they're asking me for my secret key, they must be storing it somewhere right? Isn't that basically the same thing as asking me for my credit card numbers or password and storing that in their own database? How are secret keys and api keys supposed to work? How secret do they need to be? Are these applications that use the secret

I have been asked by our developers to give them an API key for Baidu maps so they can set up our on site store locator and I'm not really sure how to go about doing this. I tried to set up an account on Baidu but it asked for a chinese mobile number. Do I have to get one of these before I can get the key? And how easy is it to work out how to obtain the key once i've got an account? Can anyone advise on the best way to set this up? Thanks in advance! Update 2016: It now appears to be possible to use non-Chinese phone numbers to create Baidu accounts, see this page . Once you're logged into

I have a React app that uses two third-party services. The app was started using react-create-app . Both of these services require a API key. One key is supplied via a script tag, like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="https://myapi?key=MY_KEY"> </script> The other API key is used in a request. I store the actual key in a constant and use it to form the request. Like this: const MY_OTHER_KEY = 'MY_OTHER_KEY' let url = `http://myotherapi?key=${MY_OTHER_KEY}&q=${query}` Google's best practice tips on handling API keys says: Do not embed API keys directly in code This brings me to my
