Hiding API Keys

[HamishKingsbury2]

Hi All

I'm currently developing a headless custom JS widget for WAB that makes use of a few third party APIs. These require API keys. I was wondering how I should hide these keys so others can't use them. I did a quick google search but would like to hear what GIS developers might suggest

Cheers

Hamish,

  And JavaScript code or json files you put the API key in can be read. The best you can do is minify/uglify your js code to make less readable.

That's one solution and will most likely be my approach. I'll keep looking and see if I can come up with anything more secure
