API Keys
Generate and manage API keys for secure access to Compresr services.
Create an API Key
1. Open Dashboard
Sign in to Compresr, open your Console, and navigate to the API Keys section.

2. Configure Key
Name your key and optionally define budget limits or an expiration date.
→
3. Save & Secure
Copy your API key immediately and store it securely. Keys are shown only once during creation.
API Key Budget
Your Compresr account has a global monthly budget including all spending streams. You can optionally set custom budgets for each API key, which are enforced automatically.
Security Best Practices
- Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories
- Use environment variables to store keys securely
- Rotate keys regularly and revoke unused ones
- Set budget limits to prevent unexpected charges
