javascript - 是否建议对 Giphy API key 保密？

Question

我正在使用 Giphy 的 API，目前有一个开发 key 。我想部署我的网站，但不知道它是面向公众的 key 还是私有(private) key ，并且无法在网上找到答案，也无法直接询问他们。

Answer 1

Here is the official response to this question from GIPHY:

GIPHY APIs are designed to be used on the client side (and hence the API key too). You should go ahead and use it that way. Once development is complete - please apply for Production access for the key through the Developer Dashboard, this removes Rate limits associated with a beta key, so you don't have to worry about high traffic.Lastly, and most importantly - GIPHY has monitors setup for API key abuse and we'll reach out to you if anything happens. We definitely don't want you to worry about it.

From here

看来不用担心。
