BEST PRACTICES ON CONSUMING APIS.

1. 1Store API keys in environment variables (.env) instead of hardcoding them in the front-end
2. 2Use a secrets manager to securely store and retrieve API keys
3. 3Implement rate limiting and quotas to prevent abuse and denial-of-service attacks
4. 4Validate and sanitize API input data to prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
5. 5Monitor API usage and implement logging and auditing to detect suspicious activity

Developers and DevOps engineers benefit from understanding secure API consumption practices to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access

💡 Never store API keys in the front-end, use environment variables instead
