How do I get googlemaps api key to work on localhost? I've created an API key and under referers I add the following: Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (websites) (Optional) Use asterisks for wildcards. If you leave this blank, requests will be accepted from any referrer. Be sure to add referrers before using this key in production. localhost This doesnt work and if I exclude the api key it doesnt work either? 1- first go to this address: https://console.developers.google.com/apis 2- create a api key for your project, 3- click on Library and 4- click on any api that you want, 5- click

I'm designing a public API to my company's data. We want application developers to sign up for an API key so that we can monitor use and overuse. Since the API is REST, my initial thought is to put this key in a custom header. This is how I've seen Google, Amazon, and Yahoo do it. My boss, on the other hand, thinks the API is easier to use if the key becomes merely a part of the URL, etc. " http://api.domain.tld/longapikey1234/resource ". I guess there is something to be said for that, but it violates the principle of the URL as a simple address of what you want, and not how or why you want it

Am working with phil sturgeon REST_Controller for codeigniter to create a REST api, so far i've been able to create a simple library for generating api keys for the users. My problem is now sending the api key to the API for each request, how i do this without having to manually send it for every request. You should look into request signing. A great example is Amazon's S3 REST API . The overview is actually pretty straightforward. The user has two important pieces of information to use your API, a public user id and a private API Key. They send the public id with the request, and use the

In my C# project have APIKeys.cs file which have const strings with API keys. I want those strings to be empty in Git server but have actual API keys in my local computer. So peoples who pull project can compile it without problem and still my local computer gonna have API keys in same file. If I try to upload APIKeys.cs file with empty strings then I can't have local file with API keys because when I try to push it, it will overwrite empty APIKeys.cs file. Also I can't ignore this file too because it will remove empty APIKeys.cs file from Git server. So what is best automated approach for

For a pet project, I develop a desktop application which requires API keys from several different webservices. I've been going through and preparing this application to become open-sourced and run across the problem of what to do with those keys. The problem is this: My understanding is that these API keys should not be visible to anyone using the application or viewing/modifying the source code. From the webservice's end, these API keys are used to identify applications accessing their API, and allow/block usage as appropriate. In most of the TOS's for receiving these keys it's actually

Does anyone know of any API key generator script/class for PHP? The class should have method generate, that would generate a key and isValid() method, to check if the key is valid. There are multiple ways to generate API keys. I've used following 3 methods depending on the applications, Base62(random). Generate a large secure random number and Base-62 encode it. The key looks like "w5vt2bjzf8ryp63t". This is good for self-provisioned system. You don't have to worry about collision and inappropriate keys. You have to check database to know if the key is valid. Base62(MD5-HMAC(key, Normalize

I am trying to hide 2 secrets that I am using in one of my apps. As I understand the keychain is a good place but I can not add them before I submit the app. I thought about this scenario - Pre seed the secrets in my app's CoreData Database by spreading them in other entities to obscure them. (I already have a seed DB in that app). As the app launches for the first time, generate and move the keys to the keychain. Delete the records from CoreData. Is that safe or can the hacker see this happening and get those keys? *THIRD EDIT** Sorry for not explaining this scenario from the beginning - The

I'm interested in creating API keys for web.api and allowing clients to communicate with API using the API keys rather than authorization web.api provides. I want multiple clients to be able to communicate with the web.api. instead of creating username and password, can I use an api key, and allow clients to communicate with client. Is there such built-in functionality? if one wants to implement it, how would you go around it? cuongle You are able to achieve by using HMAC Authentication . Basically, there might be a database table called ApiKey (apiKey, secretKey) . Each client has each Apikey
