12.Api Key Authorization

Why Was This Developed?

Added Support API Key Authorization for Webservice Projects

What is the Goal?

API key authorization is a mechanism used to control access to an API by requiring a unique key to be included with each request. This key, typically generated and issued by the API provider, serves as a credential to authenticate and identify the requesting user or application. By using API keys, providers can enforce security measures, manage access levels, monitor usage, and implement rate limiting.
