API Keys Management
The API Keys section of the dashboard allows you to generate, manage, and revoke the unique credentials used to authenticate your applications with the EdgeMask proxy.
Security first: EdgeMask handles your API keys with zero-trust principles. We never store your proxy API keys in plain text; all keys are hashed securely upon creation.
Managing Your Keys
Generating a New Key
When creating a new proxy key, you can assign it a memorable name (e.g., "Production API Focus", "QA Testing"). Once generated, the key will only be shown to you once. Make sure to copy it immediately and store it securely in your application's environment variables.
Revoking Keys
If you suspect a key has been compromised or you no longer need it, you can revoke it instantly from the dashboard. Revoked keys cannot be used to authenticate with the proxy, resulting in a 401 Unauthorized error for any subsequent requests.
